An excerpt using english translation

Jo Gabriel: Fools and Orphans (CD – Kalinkaland, 2009). Jo Gabriel is original of New York. It has learned alone to play the pianoforte, sings and it writes songs. She is author of a POP d’ author with sends back more or less explicit to sure things of Kate Bush and old school 4AD, distinguishing itself for an exquisitely etereo taste that pervade the songs, probably thanks all’ shrewed use of the pianoforte and sporadic arches that they caress the pieces sweetly. The orchestrali agreements to the times have of touch cameristici, also always remaining attention to remain in penumbra in order to leave space the absolute protagonist. Of its Jo Gabriel much passion puts us and a discreet originality.

“Night Digging” hits the club circuit in Toronto/Canada

 

DJ Darkness has been spinning my music quite a bit lately! Give It Back got to air itself out in the big club scene recently~ and now~!
DJ Darkness spun my track “Nightdigging” last night and people were asking about it! The only other tracks that anyone asked about was a Virgin Prunes track and a J.S.Bach track. DJ Darkness said “hearing the pipe organ blasting through a night club at 140 db was an absolutely life altering experience for me.” 

“Nightdigging sounded great. Jo’s vocals seemed to be coming from far away in the ethereal plane”

Ninthspace review of “Island”

MARCH 22 2008

Island, Jo Gabriel’s fourth full-length album (released in 2005) is probably an ideal introduction to her work because it holds new songs and others from earlier releases. Jo takes the indulgences of This Mortal Coil and weaves them inside traditional and otherworldly piano pieces, accompanied by strings, fretless bass, guitar, her sometimes unusual vocals and Linda Mackley’s perfectly balanced percussion. Whilst the results are obviously off-centre, they remains deliciously melodic and listenable even if the lyrics travel to other places.

Frank’s Blog~a wonderful compliment!

MARCH 07, 2008           The more I listen to her music (Jo Gabriel) and watch these videos (more at her YouTube Channel) jogabriel88, the more taken I am. Years and years ago I saw Kate Bush perform on some cable channel. This was before she became legend. I’d never heard or seen anything quite like it and I’ll never forget the flavor of that rush. Listening to Joey is the only time since then that my palate has tingled quite the same. She is a brilliant constellation in a sky of sound A way to find home, a way to be found Seems people don’t ’like her’ or ’not like her’ — but rather when they’re plus’d they love her madly dearly.And very plus’d am I — oh yes.   Frank~
