The Last Town Chorus
The Last Town Chorus is a Brooklyn-based singer currently on tour in the UK with Guillemots. The distorted cry of a lap steel guitar slices through the Brooklyn night. A voice sings with aching sweetness and strength. Caressing melodies are barbed with stinging solos. This is the sound of The Last Town Chorus - the revolving ensemble led by singer/writer/lap-steel-guitarist Megan Hickey - whose singular approach to music has beguiled writers from The Village Voice, Time Out, Uncut, Relix, and No Depression among countless others. Her live shows are nothing short of revelatory, bringing audience members to tears, turning critics into fanatics and building a fiercely loyal fan base in every city The Last Town Chorus visits. The new album, 'Wire Waltz', is even deeper, more powerful and more personal than the last and includes the wistful reinvention of David Bowie's 'Modern Love' that was recently featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Available this fall in the UK (Loose Music) and in early 2007 in the US (Hacktone Records), 'Wire Waltz' is comfort food for wounded souls.
