new music

I've had Oren Lavie on my sticky of music to check out for a couple of months now. I've heard his new and first album "Opposite Side of the Sea" and can only say that I'm super dismayed that the album hasn't been released state-side and doesn't seem like it will ever be for now. Luckily, iTunes had it - much better alternative to paying $30.00 to import it in from the UK, right?



Oren Lavie apparently grew up in Israel and has traveled around the world since.
"In 2001 Oren Lavie moved to New York where he tried to make a living by means of various jobs and where he focused on writing songs. When they had piled up he went to Berlin (2003) and started to do recordings, working as his own producer. His first album, "The Opposite Side of the Sea", was completed in 2006; it was released in Europe January and February 2007." - wikipedia.com
