Congratulations! Oh, Great! Your soul has won. Now, Come let’s love together, so Close, but far apart. Are you ready now? Can I whisper truth? Hear then push down, down and round Until I tell you there is No hope for someone like me! Congratulations! So Slow your mind’s become. Now Come make love together. I Need you not for long. Do you love me now? Dare you to resist! Make us so profound, exquisite; Once again tell me there is No other person but me! Congratulations! I Hope our choice is wrong. Please Come, let’s love forever and Grow and live, so long! Are you hurting now? Tell me you forgive! I’m sure it will pass, we’ll forget. Soon our story becomes Only one person, that’s me!

You've seen me falling, Now, here I am clawing. Before I let go, I say to you; Fly! You fools!!

Oceans wide, the endless cycles rest lightly on my skin. Soon the black dust will succumb, like a purple shade beneath the eye reveals but a moment in time. Our vision fades into imagined form. A taste of memory, embracing the hallowed light, for all! Always ascending, broken and free.

about

Andrea Keeble’s latest album, Congratulations, reflects her distinct body of composition and musicianship for the last two decades in Australia’s classical, jazz, gypsy and avant-garde music scenes. Two beautifully arranged songs, with gorgeous, fluid vocals by Dan Witton, bookend the recording. The tracks in-between explore string, jazz, improvisation and experimental ground – from cabaret to gypsy folk to classical and back again.

Andrea is an accomplished string player, and her understanding of the instrument and willingness to push it into new roles and spaces permeates the album. The stylistic range is impressive, with tracks that seem almost wholly experimental suddenly branching into classical ostinatos, gentle lyrics and accessible chord progressions.

The title and title track, far from being self-congratulatory, play on the courage of breaking down old habits. Each composition, as it moves through new, engaging and often haunting space, creates an impression of positive change. If you like eclectic music, you’ll love Congratulations, with its atmospheric flavours of Keeble’s long-term membership with Cosmo Cosmolino, and influences of straight jazz, classical Bartók strings and even Iceland’s Sigur Rós.
