Details:
âMother, I am hungry for some musical theater! I long for acoustic guitars, medieval melodies and operatic librettos! I would hear stories of the idle rich, humanoid anomalies, and criminal geniuses of the early nineteenth century! I need to observe the melodious consumption of fruit and the sifting through of old newspapers and listen to the prattle of simple minds and the banter of their superiors! I crave songs that deliver me into new worlds from far away, from long ago, and introduce me to characters Iâd be, otherwise, afraid to know! Mother, I am hungry for some theatrical music!â

âMy dear! What you want is⦠the Deadfly Ensemble!â

The Deadfly Ensemble returns with their second album, âA Seed Catalog For Extinct Annualsâ, creating a whole new theater of art-rock possibilities! Each song is a new and wonderful story, waiting to be discovered. Fantastic musical tales of debutantes with extra limbs, twisted young financial geniuses, thirsty ghosts, shipwrecks, ogres, pirate queens and a whole host of other characters ensure that every instant, every note is rich with imagery and operatic invention. The Deadfly Ensemble carves dramatic circles in the dusty floorboards of a shadowy attic and arranges melodies on the ancient instruments stored up there. Cello, guitars, bass, a myriad of percussion and a troupe of voices deliver this album like a series of short operettas, each infused with their own dramas, their own victories and tragedies. Discover this package of melodic worlds, this bundle of folk fables and revel in the adventure. âA Seed Catalog For Extinct Annualsâ confirms that the Deadfly Ensemble is a major voice in the realm of artistic music, and that they are masters of song storytelling.
