Ernest Hemingway Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions
Strap in for a lounge-lit voyage through the life and work of Ernest Hemingway, as only Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions could chart it. Shimmering theremins, lush strings, and sun-warmed bossa rhythms carry twelve songs from a boyhood on Walloon Lake to the cafés of Paris, the plains of Africa, a Cuban hilltop, and the stage of a Nobel Prize ceremony. The lyrics are historically faithful and full of wordplay, with a wink in every verse. Duets trade lines like old friends at a bar, and a solemn bell tolls where the story calls for it. Some words are said aloud, and the best ones stay beneath the surface. Put on the record, mix something dry, and let the iceberg float by.
