Тексты песен The Weepies
Информация о артисте
The Weepies – инди-фолк-поп группа из Калифорнии в составе двух исполнителей и авторов песен Дэб Талан (Deb Talan) и Стива Таннена (Steve Tannen). До их знакомства во время концерта Cтива Таннена в клубе Passim в Кембридже (Массачусетс) в 2001 году оба музыканта cделали успешную сольную карьеру. Быстро почувствовав музыкальную схожесть, они стали выступать вместе. Вскоре Дэб и Стив поженились. Они растят сына. С 2005 года дуэт сотрудничает с лейблом Nettwerk.
Музыкa The Weepies - фолк-поп, но с «нежными пьянящими» мелодиями. Атмосферные баллады c эмоциональными, проникновенными текстами, субтильными мелодиями и легко-воздушными гармониями звучат непринужденно, просто и доверительно.
Вышедший в 2005 году альбом «Say I Am You» привлёк внимание широкой публики. По числу скачиваний с iTunes стал самым популярным фолк-альбомом в восьми странах. А песня "World Spins Madly On" из этого альбома стала фолк-хитом на iTunes. Многие трэки из «Say I Am You» звучали в американских рекламных роликах и популярных телесериалах. В том числе в Grey's Anatomy,[5] Everwood,[6] One Tree Hill,[7], Gossip Girl[11]. Успех The Weepies высоко оценили коллеги, о чем свидетельствует номинация дуэта лидером ирландской рок-группы Snow Patrol Gary Lightbody на Short List Music Prize.
Альбом «Hideaway» был опубликован в 2008 на том же лейбле. The Weepies остаются в целом верными своему стилю, но тем не менее новый альбом включает наряду с "пропитанными" чувством песнями медитaтивного характера, типичными для инди-фолк, cветлые, легко запоминающиеся мелодии в стиле поп и компоненты дженгли-рок. Песня «All This Beauty» входит в саундтрэк фильма «Секс в большом городе». Read more on Last.fm.

The Weepies is an American indie pop-folk duo of married singer-songwriters Deb Talan and Steve Tannen. The duo began making music together in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2001.
In 2006, The Weepies big label debut Say I Am You came out on Nettwerk Records. After an initial hard-scrabble tour in their compact car as a duo, Deb Talan & Steve Tannen’s music appeared in more than a dozen TV shows, as well as several major motion pictures.
Their iTunes sales topped the folk charts in eight countries. Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol nominated them for a Short List Music Prize, and Mandy Moore asked them to write with her and sing on her album. They were invited to open for the Indigo Girls and invited onto the Hotel Café Tour; they played the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, the Hurricane Festival in Germany, and T in the Park in Scotland. Their MySpace player hit 2 million plays. JCPenney and Old Navy used their tunes as the theme songs for their major holiday TV campaigns.
When The Weepies returned home in 2007, they were exhausted.
“2006 was amazing. Coming off the road in 2007 should have been this blissed-out time with so much to celebrate, but it was totally depressing. Our rented shack in the California hills was cold, it had a leaky roof and there were mice living in it. Our electric guitar had been destroyed on the last plane flight of the year. We hadn’t seen most of our close friends in months.”
“We were empty,” says Talan. “We both felt dark after being in the bright lights for a year. We were looking to reconnect with what moved us about music in the first place. We needed to hide out and write.”
Hideaway was the result of their year-long struggle to get tapped in again, released in 2008. Another homemade gem, Hideaway is a darker companion to their first album, with 14 new tunes ranging from the upbeat title track to the jangly rock of Not Dead Yet to gorgeously arranged meditations like How You Survived the War and Little Bird.
As with most of The Weepies’ music, there is a happy ending to all the struggle: Deb and Steve were married in 2007, and they had a baby boy, Theo, in October.
The Weepies sound on Hideaway remains rooted in their unique writing and unusual harmonies. Their distinctive production was filled out again by bass player and guitarist Whynot Jansveld, guitarist Meghan Toohey and drummer Frank Lenz. Additional musicians on this album include string player Oliver Kraus, keyboardist John Deley, guitarist Steve Walsh, and horn player/keyboardist Brad Gordon.
The Weepies' fourth full-length album, Be My Thrill, was released in August 2010. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
