The Lives of Walter Benjamin and Asja Lacis put to Music
TRILECTIC: The heart of Jewlia/ChoHo's 2002 release, "Trilectic," is a song cycle for female voices exploring the tumultuous relationship of two radicals: Walter Benjamin (critic/philosopher of aesthetics, language and history) and Asja Lacis (Bolshevik firebrand and queen of agitprop). These two had an intense connection, both political and erotic. They talk about whether Benjamin should join the Communist party, what's wrong with Zionism, and how the masses are controlled by spectacle. But they also discuss their sensual world---for instance, what it's like to lie in bed with a lover, just kissing and touching. The music is both sexy and cerebral, as suits these lefty nerds in love. Released on Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture Series.
"Trilectic is an album to file between Meredith Monk and Sweet Honey In The Rock. That's some space to occupy, but New Yorker Jewlia Eisenberg, now based in Oakland, California, covers a lot off stylistic ground, fronting the a cappella outfit Charming Hostess in a dazzling display of vocal agility, wit, emotional flexibility, and imaginative depth. --The Wire UK "Jewlia Eisenberg's work is irreverent and ambitious. Charming Hostess radiates female energy and their singing transforms the spirit. --The San Francisco Chronicle "Jewlia Eisenberg unleashes music brilliantly conceived and performedThe sound of these powerful voices coming together is truly uplifting and even implicitly political.
--San Francisco Bay Guardian
"The songs on Jewlia Eisenberg's album, "Trilectic," are blithe and frisky. She sets lyrics about politics, jealousy and pizza to a world of styles, from klezmer to pygmy-style counterpoint, humanizing a great thinker while having plenty of fun.
--New York Times
"Jewlia Eisenberg's new record, "Trilectic," kicks brainiac ass.
--Village Voice
"Eisenberg's songs are hilarious and touching, and they run the gamut from hard-edged and powerful to sweet and soulful.
--New Yorker
