   About Loquat
Loquat live review @ The Independent 1/26/2008
Loquat seems to have a substantial level of comfort and appreciation for their hometown crowd, calling out by name a couple of their faux-hecklers. Their dreamy alt-electro filled the room at the Independent with a near-perfect level of sonic saturation. The band is a tight and smooth operation, with singer Kylee Swenson's vocals veering from sexy to sublime. They are rolling out a pre-tour in March for their upcoming album, Secrets of the Sea, and will be hitting up the Southwest and SXSW before returning to the city for a show at Cafe du Nord at the end of the month.—theowlmag.com

“Lots of bands mix electronic and acoustic instruments, but few pull it off with the grace—or even the shimmering melodies—exhibited by this San Francisco group fronted by Kylee Swenson.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“The debut full-length from this San Francisco five-piece is a masterful work of female-fronted electronic pop that seems utterly unconcerned with trend.... It’s Yours to Keep is the kind of album that makes the world around you slow down.” —Under the Radar

“In a genre marred by overproduction and, sometimes, a lack of imagination, Loquat is not only wonderfully organic but refreshingly inventive: It’s Yours to Keep could just become the soundtrack to your summer.” —Nylon

“Swenson’s voice soars like Sarah McLachlan, but her lyrics cut like Cat Power.” —URB

I found this online today by chance and it made me think of you guys:

The sea and her secrets

Here is a chest whose lid we cannot grasp that needs no lock
that rubs out the messages
we send her on the sand.

Even the sun cannot fathom her.
Whole regions of permanent night,
a wet fist clasping
the very whole of Earth…

The deeps that lie beneath
are not for you and me.
The pearls that gather eternally there
will ever remain the secrets of the sea.

- by John Wiegley

Joshua White is a New York-based multimedia artist, well known for his collaboration with artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin, among many others.
Wordless Music (“There is no more inventive music series in New York.” - Alex Ross, The New Yorker) is devoted to the idea that the sound worlds of classical and contemporary instrumental music—in genres such as indie rock and electronica—have more in common than conventional thinking might suggest. To illustrate the continuity between these worlds, the series pairs rock and electronic musicians in an intimate concert setting with with more traditionally understood classical music performers.
