This debut release of Waterbone draws upon elements of worldbeat danceable grooves and enchanting traditional melodies.
Whispered in the same breath with as Deep Forest and Dead Can Dance, Waterbone combine sensual dreamy vocals, hypnotic rhythms and intoxicating sound portraits that cradle the mystery and magic found throughout the mystical land known as Tibet..
Along with Jimmy Waldo and manager David Evans, the trio slowly found their way through the clouds, lifted their arms to the heavens and pulled down a symphony transfused with the crystal chants of monks, the jubilant choruses of nepali and Tibetan children singing their traditional hymns, and the honks and thumps of indigenous horns, drums, and flutes. The music here is the result of weeks interacting and recording the harmonic heartbeat of a place of pristine holiness and simple pleasures; the archway to the Himalayas.. Waterbone offers an air of intimacy that extends beyond the usual sampled flavors..calabashmusic.com; spiritvoyage.com
