Buoyed by the incredible response to her 2023 JUNO Award-winning album Thieves of Dreams, sung in Czech, Lenka Lichtenberg releases a new album of songs and stories inspired by her grandmother’s WWII notebooks of poems that inspired the Juno winning effort.
The new English-language album, Feel With Blood, features eight rearranged tracks from Thieves of Dreams and nine new compositions from Lichtenberg, along with a song based on Holocaust era poet Rachel Korn’s A Nay Kleyd and a contribution from Theresienstadt songwriter Ilse Weber. As with Thieves, songs on Feel With Blood straddle multiple genres, from old-world folk, to art and chamber music, a cappella and jazz. The engrossing work also incorporates spoken word explorations, electronic ambience and contemporary soundscapes. Guest collaborators on the album include Andrew McPherson, Shy-Anne Hovorka, Rachel Cohen, Auri Fell, Fern Lindzon, and Ben Cohen.
In the past year Lenka has performed Thieves of Dreams and her one woman theatrical piece The Secret Poetess of Terezin internationally from Sao Paolo to Copenhagen to Prague, as well as a week long run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. With the release of Feel With Blood through her label Six Degrees Records, audiences will have the chance to enjoy a whole new spectrum of luscious musical inventiveness from this singular artist.
