Post Description

Singer-songwriter.

In 2002, Spektor found herself writing dozens of songs which she couldn’t keep track of as they poured out. Her friend Joe Mendelson offered to help her archive them so she wouldn’t forget what she’d written. After some time, the pair decided to choose twelve of these songs—all of which were recorded in one take—and turn them into an album. This collection became Songs. Until now the album was only sold on homemade burned CDs, and this will mark its first commercial release with mastering by Bob Ludwig—who came out of retirement for this special project.

In addition to "Samson", the album also includes an original version of "Ne Me Quitte Pas". Both songs were later re-recorded, and "Samson" went on to be featured on Begin to Hope, with "Ne Me Quitte Pas" on What We Saw From The Cheap Seats.

“It’s hard to believe that after 22 years of living their scrappy DIY life, these little songs get to be reborn,” Spektor says. 'I used to burn a few CDRs and head downtown hoping someone would buy them from my backpack. Now beautifully mastered by Bob Ludwig, and available to stream or on limited edition vinyl, hopefully all the people who listened all these years can enjoy them in a new way."
