It's all Mike Flynn's fault; he posted this video first. Pomplamoose takes on a nicely-written old standard that calls for very close harmony* and what could be more close than harmonizing with yourself?
The song's only 2:20; they natter on amusingly for a couple of minutes after.
Remarkable work and a fine example of what you can do with this livin' in the future stuff! (They have recorded some more recently-written music, too).

* How close? A persistent rumor had it that Gary Troxel of The Fleetwoods enlisted to get away from constant rehearsals with his singing partners. It's not true; he was drafted. All three of them continued to perform for years after. But it was believable; close harmony takes work. Among their hits, Mr. Blue and Come Softly To Me.
Not only does she have a fine ear for pitch, but she is three kinds of easy to look at, too.

*Yawn!*
ReplyDeleteWhoa - drifted off there and woke up in the fifties!
Good stuff.
I was immediately drawn to the Neumann TLM-103, myself.
ReplyDeleteTheir version of Earth, Wind, & Fire's "September" is awesome, too!

DW - They certainly are striking, no? I appreciate the fact that if I was to meet this woman in person, that she would quite likely look as she does in the video. That counts for me.

I can't figure out how one can harmonize with one's self like she did. She has to sing each part at a different pitch at precisely the same speed each time. Quite a feat.
ReplyDeletemts1 - Listen to Queen, thats what Freddy Mercury was doing.
