Regina Spektor - Far

Review by James Skinner

Far is a bright and gratifying listen; one that doesn’t aim at ideas above its station or flounder in search of unity. It’s simply the sound of Regina Spektor crafting the kind of impeccably sweet, sometimes dramatic and perpetually detailed songs she’s always sung best.»

regina spektor's gold album 'begin to hope' was honoured as one of rolling stone's top 50 albums of 2006. 'far', her much anticipated follow-up, once again spotlights spektor's daring piano pop, vocal acrobatics and offbeat wit. utilizing four esteemed producers - jeff lynne (elo, the traveling wilburys), mike elizondo (dr dre, eminem), david kahne (paul mccartney, the strokes) and garret 'jacknife' lee (weezer, rem) spektor combines rich soundscapes with evocative and intricately structured melodies and a remarkable gift for crafting intelligent, refreshingly honest odes to life.
