SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM, Wendy Eisenberg

Saturday, July 25 · The Cedar Cultural Center

Doors 7:00pm · Show 8:00pm

★ racket — Though Eisenberg is known for her experimental bent, Wendy Eisenberg is, no mistaking it, a singer-songwriter album. But they stretch that elastic not-quite-genre beyond its bounds with dexterous finger-picking and violin-not-fiddle accompaniment and questions like “What could be relaxing about an old myth dying?” Start with “Another Lifetime Floats Away,” a collection of childhood memories (“My mother makes breakfast, she keeps me alive”) that will remind you of your own mortality. A lot of it kind of sounds like the Roches, whose singer-songwriter records were plenty experimental in their own way.
