Crooked Little Hart
VKBs third album ("Crooked Little Heart" , recorded in New York City, continues the story of the groups exclusive relationship with the songs of Tom Waits. The past three years of performing on stages across Europe and the U.S. and struggling through the constraints of the pandemic era have given them an added appreciation for the unadulterated beauty and power of their sound and an immediately affecting quality to their music that is reflected in the warmth and intimacy of the recording. They redefine the Tom Waits songbook with love, bringing a unique female perspective to the rough and rugged wreckage. The mythic, roguish male archetypes: Beat poets, railroad hobos, slovenly drunks, cynics and hopeless romantics, the leading roles in Waits tales, are transformed, their beauty and vulnerability revealed. Meldoias burst forth and shine like polished diamonds, no longer in the rough.
