Replace Why With Funny [CD]

The debut album "Replace why with Funny from 2008 of the band DEAR READER from Johannesburg, South Africa is utterly breathtaking. A free thinking, no blinkers knowing melange of tight orchestrated mini drama, magnifying folk, curving pop. And atop there is this voice of Cherilyn, that manages to shine in all emotional ups and down. Its a record created in relative cultural isolation sub-Saharan Africa isnt exactly on the map when Arcade Fire are planning a world tour. But perhaps these are reasons why its delivered so unpretentiously from the heart and speaks so successfully to the mind. Because Replace Why With Funny is bright and breezy, world-weary and wise, and perhaps one of the most honest record you will hear. Produced by Brent Knopf of Menomena.
