Autumn Shade
Autumn Shade was established in 2002 by singer songwriter Jes Lenee'. She created a band leaning upon the raw, image-filled sounds culled from her travels and thoughts. The concepts of intricate melody and nature immediately began the center of the band and it flourished into a cohesive form; something powerful that feels beautifully weathered and timeless. The band grew from playing private shows with an acoustic guitar, haunting vocals and hand drums for friends to a larger eclectic sound that is still able to remain in that incredibly intimate atmosphere the band so well captures. Since its beginning Autumn Shade has thrived on public performances, with intensely eclectic sounds blended nicely by the band's live painter, performance artist and pianist, Derick Snow.
About Jes Lenee'
As a young girl she began writing music on piano and guitar in the Midwestern U.S. At seventeen, Jes found the underground poetry readings and art creation gatherings; it was an incredible experience which caused her to follow the path of progress. Her singing has been described as haunting and soothingly beautiful, compared by others in writing and performance to Tori Amos and Connor Oberst. On a live stage, she'll sometimes change her songs drastically, spontaneously going into the emotional and passionate spirit of the music she's grasped, but always retaining the true genius of her work. In addition to Ezra Moon, Jes received high marks for her previous album, Grandfather's Attic, and work co-directing and scoring the film, Train Tracks. Jes has happily gained inspirations in her surrounding Ozark nature, poetry, love and a worldly idea found in traveling the globe.
Ezra Moon is the second release for Autumn Shade and the first album under the Strange Attractors Audio House label. The album is a culmination of a journey through nature, spirituality, love, and imagination found though traveling the world in the last few years. It takes us all on an intimate journey through lyrics heavy in emotional sub-text and wonderful musical landscapes found in some far off land of imagination; featuring eclectic melodies of distant violins, deep drums, a heartfelt hammered-dulcimer and moody clarinets. Written and recorded around the world and in a few bedrooms, this is an album of changes, seasons, hardships, joys and strength; ready to bare itself before the world. Read more on Last.fm.
