Thin Air by Neve Naive
It's been already about two years that with their last album “The Inner Peace Of Cat And Bird” (SK245CD / LP) the duo Neve Naive could not only delight an audience but also the critics. Since then, Stefan “Merse” Ulrich and Neve aka Alexa Voss spent quite some time again in their studio and recorded a good deal of new material, so we get the 4-track EP at hand, “Thin Air”.
The opener “Thin Air” is a breezy ballad suddenly picking up pace in the second part unexpectedly. Accompanied by a piano, guitars and unobtrusive but all the more ingenious beats Neve is saying good bye to a bygone love. Equally mature the EP proceeds with “Through The Glass”. An instruction for more courage and adventure. And Neve Naive seem to have followed this directive as well.
“The Sleeper” suprises with twisted guitar sounds and a rather compelling arrangement over which Neve's vocals hover sinuously.
Till we hear from her and Ulrich again, which will be, as promised, very soon. “Thin Air” whets the appetite for more properly.

When Alexa “Neve” Voss and Stefan “Merse” Ulrich meet in 2008 during a jam session both are already fully equipped with tons of musical experience. Voss made some noise under the moniker Miss Flint as a singer or as a background singer (for Laith Ladeen, Culcha Candela, Flomega, Martin Jondo & Mellow Mark). Ulrich is widely known for his trombone playing with the Jazzanova band and The Ruffcats.
