Friday 5 November 2010: MY BUBBA AND MI |
|
MY BUBBA AND MI
Three girls from Denmark, Sweden and Iceland, My Bubba and Mi will bring their own brand of
fireworks to Farndale on Bonfire Night with their tantalisingly seductive Nordic take on
Appalachian folk, Mississippi blues and classic roots guitar-picking - topped with vocal
harmonies so beguiling and warm they'd melt the Aletsch Glacier. They call their music
'lullabies of the countryside' and we can hear echoes of BE GOOD TANYAS, KATE &
ANNA MCGARRIGLE and GILLIAN WELCH but these Scandinavian delta maids are very much
their own women and heading in a direction all their own...
The story goes that My bubba & Mi - who play 82 strings all told, on instruments collectively
329 years old - met when Bubba moved in to My's Copenhagen flat while My was doing the
dishes in the kitchen.
While emptying her boxes Bubba heard My singing and the next day grabbed her by the arm in
search of a harmony for a lullaby she was writing - the song now known as Apple Spell. The
two girls became inseparable, singing for some months in each others' bedrooms - then Mia moved
in, with her organs...
None of the three knew where they were going, but one day an Italian music-loving bar-owner
cycling through Copenhagen heard their exotic music drifting out of the window of a small
bar and, seriously seduced, he went in and saw My, Bubba and Mia playing to a small audience.
A fan was born. Completely blown away, he immediately invited the girls to Italy to
perform and record their music there - and they packed their bags and left.
'How It's Done In Italy' (released on Dutch label Beep! Beep!) is what happened next.
A mesmerizing debut album, and the launchpad for what ought to be a very special
career as My Bubba And Mi set out to conquer the world...
