Hums by Ala Ghawas: A true sound of nostalgiaBy Adarsh AlphonsWhispers of nostalgia in a tender voice with resonating words - it is this wonderful configuration of musical score, lyrics and even more importantly, believable emotional deliverance ... Full Descriptionthat makes Ala’s songs hard to forget and even harder to not be moved by. First time I heard his debut EP - Hums, the strong nostalgic component of the music steered my emotions into wistful reminiscence, I couldn’t help being taken back to thoughts of love - lost or still longing for.Just as poet Pablo Neruda dedicated “sonnets… rise only because you gave them life” to Matilde, the love of his life, “Hums” is about love, it is an epic of lost and lingering feelings, with each song an ode to individuals in his life. The EP picks up on his main influences, Jackson Browne and Bob Dylan, in terms of their literal lyrics and laidback melodies. On a more contemporary note, Ala hits the raw tones of Damien Rice by evoking wistful affections of the past while having a very powerful mellow-down effect, in the same way Elliott Smith is low-key.Having known Ala for almost a year I have watched him put this EP together (from writing the lyrics to the production, all of which he did by himself) and it has been so inspiring and humbling - to watch him create this EP so painstakingly with few resources. His recording studio was his 3 by 3 feet closet - just enough space for him and his guitar. Just listening to his music, this much is obvious - he has tremendous potential and I can clearly see him appealing to many a heart with his tracks. In this tiny little closet on the fourth floor of an apartment building in Boston, Ala has created an EP that is original to listen to, saturated with honest and straightforward emotions that are altogether refreshing to my ears.

main || bio | news | media | email lists | snail mail | contact info | emmgryner bio Emm Gryner makes records that matter.Impressed more by the freedom to express herself than by straightjacket promises of major labels and slavery to modern radio, Emm has made records in her native Canada for the past eight years. With sales in the tens of thousands on her own Dead Daisy Records label, Emm has been able to guide her own career and follow her own inspiration. Emm sees no limitations - writing, playing most of the instruments, producing and releasing her own albums has given her a unique perspective.Inspired by the work of a diverse range of artists who fuelled her passion (Peter Gabriel, The Pretenders, The Cure, Bright Eyes, PJ Harvey, Madonna, Beck, Prince, Guns 'N' Roses, Tori Amos, The Eurythmics) Emm has crafted her own distinctive sound and path."My influences are all over the map. I was raised on classical music, '80s pop and '90s grunge and metal. Later I discovered indie rock, britpop and singer-songwriters. When I find a great song I don't care where it has come from or what anyone else thinks of it."As much as Emm enjoys the talents of other artists, happily the reverse is also true. Her unique voice, plaintive and expressive, capable of communicating heartbreak and soaring joy, has brought her to the attention of a number of artists she admires. Emm has been invited to sing on recordings with Lou Barlow, Rob Zombie, David Bowie and Curtis Mayfield, as well as to tour with Ron Sexsmith, Rufus Wainwright, Bernard Butler and The Cardigans. In addition, Nelly Furtado listed Emm's self-produced album, Science Fair, as one of her all-time favourite albums.Intimately lo-fi yet never lacking in ambition, Emm's albums have topped college radio charts and brought her major commercial airplay. Engaging, exciting and emotional live performances have made Emm an artist who has to be seen to be believed. Sometimes solo, often with a band, Emm has toured constantly across Canada and widely in the US and has recently begun to win fans in Europe. Bit by bit, through good old fashioned word-of-mouth, Emm has built up a dedicated following of creative and inspired music lovers. Nominated for three Juno (Canadian Grammy) Awards, Emm makes being a workaholic look like fun and having fun look like the most intoxicating way to live.Ever looking to broaden her horizons, Emm will sometimes take a song by another artist and pick it apart, lay it bare and then build it up again, this time infused with a little Emm magic.In 2001, she released a critically-acclaimed album containing the most ...
