Since emerging on the NYC caf circuit in 2001, Regina Spektor has been hailed as a truly special talent. Soviet Kitsch offers ample proof of the Russian-born, Bronx-bred musician's many remarkable gifts, from her unique and provocative vocal style - which can change in the blink of an eye - to prodigious piano skills garnered through years of classical training. In addition, Spektor is an enormously idiosyncratic composer and lyricist, combining eclectic and evocative melodies with intricately structured character studies that owe more to Chekhov and Gogol than to most modern songwriters. With Soviet Kitsch, Regina Spektor establishes herself as something genuinely rare and refreshing - an unadulterated, unanticipated original. Though many of the album's most striking moments are spare, stark solo pieces, Soviet Kitsch also sees Spektor accompanied by the Brighton, England-based art-punk combo, Kill Kenada, while other tracks on Soviet Kitsch feature contributions from some of NYC's finest musicians, including guitarist Oren Bloedow (Elysian Fields, Lounge Lizards), bass legend Graham Maby (Joe Jackson, Marshall Crenshaw), and cellist Jane Scarpantoni (Lou Reed, Kristen Hersh, Luna). Soviet Kitsch establishes Regina Spektor as an artist in her own right and is the predecessor to Spektor's newest album Begin To Hope. The DVD (Disc 2) runs for 20 mins and features a short film, animation as well as the video clip for "Us".
