On its third release, Pharaoh's Daughter fuses Middle Eastern and Jewish sounds with a dark, indie pop sensibility. Programmed effects and beats give the music a hip, modern edge without sacrificing the founding aesthetic of the band. Hats off to producer/multi-instrumentalist Frederik Rubens for pulling it off, combining oud, guitars, sitar, accordion, brass, strings, and more into a seamlessly musical blend. This couldn't have happened, however, without the evocative singing and songwriting of Basya Schechter. Listen to tracks like &Paradise Hung& and &Confession& and you'll encounter images that linger long after the music ends. It's hard to imagine a line more arresting than this: &I am a fake/A hyper-conscious Jewish fake/With a Catholic habit for confession.& Keep the disc playing to hear a bonus remix of &Off and On.&
