Lizzie and the Makers, Baby Spiders, 12090 A.D. — live event

Lizzie & The Makers’ sophomore studio album, Dear Onda Wahl, embroiders their potent Southern-tinged rock with art-rock, dream-pop, and ethereal elements to spawn something all their own. It’s one of those rare records that combines single-minded artistry with broad commercial appeal. Created around the dusky yet soaring timbre of force-of-nature frontwoman Lizzie Edwards, Dear Onda Wahl was produced by Grammy winner Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince) and Cure guitarist Reeves Gabrels (Tin Machine, Bowie). Their influence, alongside the textured six-string and pedal-steel expressions of Edwards’ writing partner (and Gabrels protégé) Greg McMullen, ensure an intriguingly adventurous, hugely dynamic – and occasionally otherworldly – take on the traditional. Defying her constant comparisons to Janis Joplin, the classically-trained Edwards, 5-time official showcasing artist at SXSW, former Pleasantville Music Festival MainStage performer, summons a heartfelt, nuanced mezzo-soprano shaped by Memphis soul legend Ann Peebles, Heart’s Wilson sisters, and jazz icon Billie Holiday. She’s assertive, yet vulnerable; defiant, yet proudly flawed. Baby Spiders are a New York City rock trio comprised of Tony Zajkowski and Rob Youngberg, formerly of Lotion, on guitar and drums respectively, and Anton Sword, of Anton Sword & The We Ours, Blythe Sword, and formerly of J.C. & Anphibius, on keyboards. Think Cream meets early Pink Floyd late at night in a turkish bathhouse. From the visionary drummer, composer Tim Kuhl “captivating, harrowing, and gorgeous bodies of work” (Pop Matters) 12090 A.D. blends evocative instrumentals, vulnerable, plaintive, controlled vocals by Anna Copa Cabanna, nostalgic-pop sounds from the 1980’s, and all the epic drama of the big screen. As a sideman, Kuhl has worked with a diverse list of artists such as Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl (The GOASTT), Margaret Glaspy, Satomi Matsuzaki (Deerhoof), Zola Jesus, Madison Cunningham, Ondara, Jounce (feat. Danny Tamberelli), Sophie Auster, Domino Kirke, and many others.
