Seth Faergolzia - Silence
Part two of our back-to-back session with Seth Faergolzia and Jeffrey Lewis. This song features Nicol Parkinson from Frozy on melodica. Seth and Jeff met at college back in the late 90s before becoming regulars of the New York anti folk/open mic scene, and Faergolzia led the experimental, off-kilter, “freak” folk band Dufus until their recent split. In addition to his solo work Faergolzia is also a sculptor, author, clothing designer and founder of new project 23 Psaegz, a 15 piece “folk grand orchestra” originially gathered to perform his stream-of-consciousness puppet rock opera (nope, us neither) that has since become a collaborative effort. Whether in his softer, more melodic and intimate moments or in those that are more barn-storming and slightly unhinged, Faergolzia’s work is always distinctly his own; inventive, touching or unnerving yet always enthralling and entertaining. With more people of his kind the world would be a better place.
