Two great Chicago musicians, Genevieve Schatz of Company of Thieves and the underrated, Gainsbourg-esque singer/songwriter David Safran, just released a fantastic duet. This is erotic lounge pop at its best – easy listening background music, a triumphant gospel-style chorus and a perfectly schmaltzy orchestra performed by Chicago-based violin virtuoso, Susan Voelz. (Poi Dog Pondering, Broken Social Scene, John Mellencamp, Alejandro Escovedo.) "Woman Astride, Facing Away" is the kind of song that, in a few months, will probably be everywhere.
