NY musician Jennifer Charles, of indie cult band Elysian Fields, has forged a career perhaps best described as a slow burn. Whether singing, writing, or producing, she has appeared on over forty records, sung and recorded in over eight languages, and worked with a wide-ranging melange of names in music. From long time collaborator Oren Bloedow, to conspirators as far-flung as Jim "Foetus" Thirlwell, Ed Pastorini, John Zorn, Jean-Louis Murat, DJ Logic, Mike Patton, Dan the Automator, Miho Hatori, Michael Gordon, Frank London, Firewater, The Chrome Cranks, and Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails, among others. For this special show, she will be playing some Elysian Fields rarities and B sides, some La Mar Enfortuna, the EF Sephardic side project, along with little known tracks with some of the above said artists. Plus songs from E.F.'s latest work "The Afterlife", two days before their record release show Friday the 27th at Joe's Pub. Official US Record Release for The Afterlife November 27th, 2009 at Joe's Pub in NYC. 11pm. Available on VInyl as well as through iTunes, Amazon and such. Click here to purchase tickets for the show.

Jennifer can be heard on Chris Vrenna's (ex NIN) new Tweaker record, 2 AM Wake-Up Call. She sang and co-wrote the song "Crude Sunlight", the albums haunting closer. Other guests include Will Oldham, Robert Smith, and David Sylvian. Unfortunately, the released mix of "Crude Sunlight" suffers from a technical problem which has since been remedied. Stay tuned on how to hear the corrected version. Jennifer is featured vocalist and cowriter on Dan the Automator's new CD, entitled "Nathaniel Merriwether Presents... LOVAGE: Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By". The mastermind behind Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School makes his entry in the make-out album category. Also featuring Mike Patton (Fantomas, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More), Kid Koala, Damon Albarn, Afrika Bambataa, others. Juicy duets and throbbing love jams for the new millenium.
