Tigers And Hummingbirds (Album)

Digital / Vinyl (LP, 180g, Limited Handnumbered Edition, One-Step DMM) · XJM23007

"Tigers And Hummingbirds" is a deeply personal album by Berlin-based Israeli singer Yael Nachshon Levin: a musical depiction of her recovery from complex post-traumatic stress disorder, tracing a path from pain and wounds toward hope. Songs such as "Feel At Home," "Gut Feeling," "Tiger," "The Bird of Popular Song" and the closing "Hummingbird" map that arc in song-oriented vocal jazz with a singer-songwriter touch. During the writing process Levin was mentored by legendary bassist Greg Cohen (Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman, Lou Reed); under producer Guy Sternberg she gathered a "dream band" of around twenty musicians, including Earl Harvin (Jeff Beck, Air), Justin Stanton (Snarky Puppy) and Haggai Cohen-Milo. The album was recorded live in one room over four days at the storied Emil Berliner Studios, kept entirely in the analogue domain on tape. A warm, honest record that translates vulnerability into sound.

Yael Nachshon Levin

A Berlin-based jazz singer-songwriter whose honest, healing music - from the album Tigers and Hummingbirds to recent singles - turns trauma, hope and love into song.

Yael Nachshon Levin is a Berlin-based jazz musician and singer-songwriter whose music is honest, heartfelt and direct. Her album "Tigers and Hummingbirds," her fifth studio album and second on LowSwing Records, tells her private story of living with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, the music portraying her journey from pain toward hope through the healing process. Mentored during the songwriting by legendary bassist Greg Cohen and produced with Guy Sternberg, she gathered a dream band of some twenty top-notch musicians, recording live in the same room at the legendary Emil Berliner Studios to communicate in the most intimate and free way. Her single "I See a Darkness," a heartfelt cover of Will Oldham recorded in the aftermath of October 7th, reflects on trauma, friendship and the hope that love can be the only ray of light in total darkness, while "Through Your Eyes" reaches back to her oldest childhood memories as a love song for, and about the love between her and, her mother. As she puts it, every step she takes and every sound she makes shares the same intention: to look for the truth, to create good in the world, and to insist on the light without ignoring the darkness.
