'glass' by Cabinet of Natural Curiosities C'était voici cinq ans, j'ai reçu le délicieux objet dont la photo suit. Je suis tombé amoureux et de l'objet et de la musique délicate qu'il contenait... Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Jasmine Wagner Dreame, son âme, a accepté de répondre aux quatre questions du Vent. It was five years ago when I've received this delicious packaging (take a look at the following photograph), I instantly fell in love with the art and with the sensitive music that was in it... Cabinet [...]

Monday: White Hills + Pontiak @ Cake Shop 8pm $7 [ info ] There are worse fates in life than to go underrated for most of your career, but when you have worked as hard and are as talented as these two bands that just shouldn't be the case. Yet for some reason both White Hills and Pontiak seem to fly way under the radar and that's probably why you can still see them at venues like Cake Shop. That may be good for music loving fanatics like you and me, but hopefully these [...]

I've been meaning to write a little something about this album for what seems like forever now. Searchlight Needles is the latest full-length from Cabinet Of Natural Curiosities , a group founded by Jasmine Dreame Wagner and based in both Missoula, MT and Brooklyn, NY. Searchlight Needles is a fairly quiet and peaceful album that combines folksy guitars, slight electronics, keys, percussion, field recordings, and more into something that is (at times) as haunting and menacing as it is sparsely beautiful. Floating amidst all the noise (however) are Wagner's poetic vocals. [...]
Cabinet of Natural Curiosities - Searchlight Needles My Thoughts: Like () I'd first heard of Cabinet of Natural Curiosities after downloading a live set someone recorded at some coffee shop or small venue or something. When I got her album I was instantly struck by the unique artwork and packaging. A simple grey/brown CD sized envelope in plastic with a black tree and a moon printed on the front. Simple, but darling. I could say the [...]

cabinet of natural curiosities , einmal schreib ich es noch. blöder name. manchmal verfolge ich dann solche hinweise gar nicht mehr. aber man muss sich ja auch nicht so mädchenhaft haben. apropos mädchen. hinter dem pseudonym versteckt sich jasmine dreame wagner und weiß mit ganz anmutiger geste zu gefallen. es sind einige verstellte tunes dabei, aber durchhören , freunde, die meisten cuts sind überaus anschmiegsam, gut verdaulich. aber nicht gänzlich ohne wahrnehmbare allüren, schwächen und absacker. ganz mein wetter, wie sie da jungmädchenhaft und doch wissend über all die dinge singt, von denen man meint schon [...]

Nous sommes loin du vacarme et de l'expérimentale quand Jasmine Dreame Wagner vient poser sa voix avec autant de délicatesse sur les mélopées composées par Cabinet of Natural Curiosities . Pourquoi vouloir choisir un ailleurs quand il y a tant à recevoir de l'instant ? [MP3] Cabinet of Natural Curiosities - For Sparrow [MP3] Cabinet of Natural Curiosities - Valentine
Your friendly MML curators have taken it upon themselves to scratch enough pocket change/frequent flyer miles together in order to depart from the formerly-evil empire we now call home for a visit with family and friends in and around London, UK. Although our itinerary remains mostly unclear (pubs), we can at least give a heads-up on an evening we have excitedly set aside. Front and center will

As another week draws to its inevitable conclusion, I find myself increasingly withdrawing from some of my former life's highlights. Perhaps it is the constant haze caused by lack of sleep or the transmutation of long partially dormant feelings, but I just want to get out of here, my reality. To aid me in this and help me imagine myself curled amid the branches of a huge green tree, just feeling the smooth bark, smelling the leaves and watching a green and golden world from above, requires a dream. And not just any kind of a dream: Jasmine [...]

The album is not dead. Searchlight Needles is more than proof of that, it is perhaps a shrine to the essence of the album by a gifted and exquisitely articulate singer-songwriter/poet, Jasmine Dreame Wagner. Based in Missoula, MT and Brooklyn, NY, she makes music that is "psychedelic-tinged Americana with elements of electronica and ambient sound." I honestly could not describe it better than her agent has there. And don't find that bewildering or off-putting, it's beautiful and haunting and I haven't stopped listening to it for five days now. In fact I'm so attached to [...]
Freur - "Doot Doot" . When we finished high school, Luce, we knew less than a hummingbird-wing's amount of anything. We knew less than nothing about nothing. We slow-danced, felt all moon & magnolia, all hip on hip and hot on skin, but we were kids who ate the tinned soup our parents' simmered, who spent our summers just- just- hanging out . I can't count the things we didn't know. Things about working - about the persistence of working, the way it never stops. About really being alone out there. About how you can pack [...]

a cabinet of natural curiosities either way I lose 2007 (française version) Je ne sais pas s'il me sera possible, sur la durée d'une année, chaque jeudi, de retrouver et vous offrir une part d'Eternité. Ce que je sais, c'est que, début juillet, quand me parviendront les disques "glass vs grass" et "vineland" de Cabinet of Natural Curiosities , mon Eternité s'en trouvera complétée. [...]
I was googling "natural curiosities" this weekend and found Cabinet of Natural Curiosities among the search results. The website doesn't give me enough info other than music and shows, which I guess what matters most anyway. Of course, there's a myspace page where I learned that it's mainly the work of Jasmine...
