«Vocalist Sainkho Namtchylak is a master of the unique multi-octave Tuvan
throat-singing style, which is known for its deep guttural moans as well as
high-pitched whistles and buzzing overtones. Namtchylak knows the music
traditions of her homeland (located just south of Siberia), but these days
she's interested in mutating those traditions. Stepmother City is a wildly
diverse work that juxtaposes Tuvan throat singing and music against modern
pop, electronic music, and experimental jazz. The Western sounds work great
with Namtchylak's amazing voice. As haunting sonic textures provide the
backdrops, the vocalist uses her seven-octave range to create a vivid variety
of vocal characters that are intermittently sultry pop divas, children,
demons, and songbirds, as well as more traditional-sounding singers of the
Tuvan, gospel, blues, and opera styles. More accessible than Namtchylak's past
work, which leans more toward either the European avant-garde or traditional
Tuvan music, Stepmother City will delight and enchant fans of Björk, Diamanda
Galas, and Zap Mama.»
