Cara Dillon, one of the most celebrated singers in Irish Folk music, announces the release of her brand new album Wanderer. For this, her seventh album, the award-winning singer once again collaborates with longtime musical partner, producer and husband Sam Lakeman to offer a collection of songs featuring intimate performances that capture some of her most moving vocal performances to date. Building upon a career based on folk songs rooted in time and place, Wanderer sees Cara delve deeper into the tradition, not finding reasons to circumvent it. The underlying theme being the movement of people, of emigration and the pursuit of love. It's a collection that speaks to Cara's fascination with songs of departure and the powerful desire to belong.
Each of the album's ten tracks feature beautifully sparse piano and acoustic guitar arrangements by Sam Lakeman, who also produces. His experience and expertise were both key in making this album stand apart from Cara's previous. It's warm and intimate; the mood is stripped back and relaxed; the songs are beautiful and full of space with every moment thoroughly self-assured. Guest performances by Kris Drever, John Smith, Justin Adams, Niall Murphy and Ben Nicholls provide modest and expressive backing, helping to make this a sincere and understated work of art.
Throughout an enviable career which has seen her explore opportunities to tread many different paths – from releasing folk crossover albums on indie label Rough Trade; working on Disney soundtracks to collaborations with leading UK dance DJ/producers – Cara has continuously chosen to firmly plant herself within the landscape of her cultural heritage and that's something to celebrate. With a more mature and reflective tone, Wanderer will no doubt transcend genres just as effortlessly as her highly successful albums Hill Of Thieves (2009) and A Thousand Hearts (2014) and increase her already impressive list of fans. "What may well be the world's most beautiful female voice" - MOJO "Loved every single album you've put out...sublime, heavily recommend to anyone." - Ed Sheeran "This woman's voice holds so many beautiful memories in my heart." - Sam Smith "Dillon's crystalline, angelic voice, an instrument of rare beauty capable of melting the sternest of hearts" - BBC

《A Thousand Hearts》是一张值得等待的专辑，由Cara Dillon自己的音乐公司Charcoal Records与Sony音乐合作完成。Cara Dillon在上一张专辑《Hill of Thieves》之后，蛰伏五年的新作，将传统与现代进行了完美的融合。

清浅的溪水，迷濛的海岸，低垂的白云翻涌的蓝天，
野花怒放的原野上错落点缀着牧人小屋和安静悠闲的牛羊……
爱尔兰精灵Cara Dillon溢满着田园芬芳和清草香味的低吟浅唱总是能让
人的思绪飘向那遥远的异域的国度，仿佛行走在坚实的爱尔兰大地上，

《生活传统》： “她能够从已有的标准曲目中发展出自己的歌曲，并且让你觉得那就是专门为她写的，这种罕见的能力就是她最关键的独特之处.她的专辑所涉及的范围和质量会令无数人震惊。”
《Time Out》（伦敦）： “这位民谣新星的初次登场设计精心巧妙、感情细腻美好.继承了冷漠的传统.但是给观众带来的感情冲击却跨越了国家的界限，让她赢得了各国观众的心。她亲切的声音和萨姆·莱克曼的钢琴结合在一起，共同奏响了绝世之曲。”
《星期日先驱报》 “.年轻、纯粹的爱尔兰血统、华丽.她的声音让人慨叹：此曲只应天上有，人间哪得几回闻。”

14岁的时候，Cara Dillon就赢得了全爱尔兰传统歌唱比赛冠军。在开始她自己喜欢的事业之前，她和她的伙伴Sam Lakeman和一家唱片公司签约想做流行歌手，可之后他们发现自己并不喜欢做流行音乐。于是他们出了一张凄美的民歌专集Cara Dillon/Rough Trade Records，出乎意料地赢得了广泛好评。这股随之而来的Cara Dillon效应让她和她的伙伴完全转型。而之后她所获得的无数奖项更加肯定了他们的转型。
《爱尔兰音乐杂志》说，Cara Dillon冷酷却富有感染力的声音包含着她对家乡的热情和对国家的热爱。
Folk Roots Magazine评价说，毫不夸张地说，Cara Dillon有着极少数人才有的美妙嗓音。

CarapDillonpp卡拉·迪伦p当下爱尔兰最具号召力的女歌手。

给我的感觉她就只是个孩子，不知道用天籁去形容是否恰当。

她出生于1975年，来自一个爱尔兰传统音乐世家。她的声音如此清透美丽而极具风格，让观众们觉得相间恨晚。用这样一句话来形容Cara Dillon不足为过：Cara Dillon是个不寻常的天才！
仅仅几年的时间内，Cara Dillon凭借她震撼人心的表演和成熟迷人的声音赢得了整个国家观众的心，以及其他几个国家的观众，因为她的表演能穿越国界，文化和语言。自从Cara Dillon与Sam Lakeman离开原来的唱片公司去追求自己个性化的音乐，他们已经逐渐写出并录制了显示他们自己强烈个性的首张唱片。自1996年之后5年时间里，尽管他们面临诸多困难，于2001年，精美的一张唱片终于出炉问世。几乎所有的歌曲都是具有传统习俗风格的，但也有一些精细的创新，属于他们个性化的创意，如在歌曲中叙述一个美妙的故事，特别是Sam Lakeman亲自弹奏的钢琴伴奏声，极和谐地配合着他美妙的声音流淌。因此，这张唱片，对即使非常不习惯听传统乡村音乐的人，也易于接受。

本专辑中的《黑色也是多彩的》（Black is the Colour）和 “Hotpress’ Best Trad获得最佳专辑奖

以上内容摘自TCM网站对于该张大碟的介绍

When Melbourne singer songwriter Tamas Wells released his debut album ‘A Mark on the Pane’ Inpress Magazine described it as ‘one of the year’s most beautiful records’ and it reached number 16 in Australia’s AIR charts. It also received much praise internationally - with Savio Records in Italy declaring that it was ‘destined to become a cult record for many’.
Yet not long after the 2004 release, Wells left Australia - moving to the isolated country of Myanmar (Burma) to take up a long term position with an aid organization.
That could have been the end of the story.
But instead, he continued to write and record - and after three subsequent albums Wells has sold tens of thousands of records, signed label deals in Europe, Japan, China and Korea, headlined shows in Paris, Tokyo, Sydney and Shanghai and enjoyed a period in the international charts in Japan (HMV Shibuya) - all while remaining relatively unknown in his home city.
His songs have also been used in a number of films including Australian producer Marc Furmie’s award winning ‘Dark Horse’ and ‘The Houses there Wear Verandahs Out of Shyness’ from Italian film producer Fabrizio Polpettini. Polpettini also collaborated in making the stunning film clip for Wells' 2011 song ‘Thirty People Away’ - which was filmed in Paris and stars French actor Denis Lavant.
On the Volatility of the Mind
In 2012, Wells returned from Myanmar and in various homes around Melbourne began work on a new studio album. While previous recordings have drawn on Wells’ ‘beautifully broken’ use of acoustic guitar and piano (Daily Telegraph), the new album takes a different path. As Wells says, ‘I am a believer in using the instruments you have around you, and while I was writing these songs I found an old Casio synthesizer at my parent’s house and a friend had left his electric guitar at my house. So the songs started to focus on melodies, jangly guitar parts and dreamy synthesizer instrumentals’.
In the project, Wells also collaborated for the first time with Melbourne producer Nick Huggins (Kid Sam, Two Bright Lakes) and drew on the songwriting smarts of Mark Lang (Skipping Girl Vinegar). The result is ‘On the Volatility of the Mind’ - which will be released internationally in March 2014 (and in Australia through Popboomerang Records). Wells will tour internationally in May and June 2014.

About Tamas Wells
This story has two parts.
It begins 4 years ago in a vibrant music scene in Melbourne Australia. Renowned Australian producer Tim Whitten (The Panics, Art of Fighting) heard a copy of Tamas Wells’ home recorded songs and invited he and his friends to Megaphon studios in Sydney to record a debut album. This collection of songs made up the album A Mark on the Pane which was released on Australia’s Popboomerang Records and peaked at 16 on the Australian AIR charts. The band went on to do five Australian national tours through 2004.
“one of the year’s (2004) most beautiful records” (Inpress, Melbourne)
“beautiful melodies, dreamy arrangements and vocals that are virtually out of this world” (Baby Sue, US 5+/5 stars)
"absolutely marvellous" (4.5/5 stars, Time OfF, Brisbane)
"A Mark on the Pane is a beautiful album destined to become a cult record for many" (Savio Records, Italy)
"I wouldn't presume to try and convince anyone that the joy that comes with discovering an album like this is a once in a lifetime experience, but it is one of those timeless gems that will be on many personal top 10 lists for many years to come" (Music Works zine, UK)
"A gentle masterpiece" (dB Magazine, Adelaide)
"Nick Drake's folk meeting up with Iceland's stately Sigur Ros a beautiful, sublime record" (8/10 stars Australian Financial Review)
The second part begins after recording songs for a second album when Tamas Wells left Australia to live in the city of Yangon in Burma in South East Asia. Despite this move the 2006 album A Plea en Vendredi with its Beat Magazine Single of the Week Valder Fields received glowing reviews and airplay in Australia. As well as an Australian release, Tamas Wells also signed a deal with renowned Tokyo based label Inpartmaint Records in Japan and also with Beijing based label Pocket Records (Dirty Three, Maximilian Hecker). The album gained significant airplay and went on to sell several thousand copies remarkably reaching number 16 in Japan's HMV Shibuya international chart. The release culminated in a sell out tour of four Japanese cities in August 2007.
"A delight from start to finish!" (Express magazine, Perth)
"Wells is already revered for his gentle voice and mysteriously moving lyrics and this 11 track gem will only enhance his reputation for beautifully broken art’’ (Daily Telegraph, Sydney)
"Nothing else needs to be said except that we HIGHLY RECOMMEND this album WITHOUT RESERVATION. A Plea en Vendredi is, quite simply, a beautiful and intricate masterpiece" (Baby Sue, US)
The new Tamas Wells album Two Years in April is now available in stores and online. See Shop Page to purchase album. See Tour Page for tour dates in your area.
He still resides in Yangon, Burma
