Artist Bio
A few short years ago, Regina Spektor was hypnotizing small crowds at hole-in-the-wall venues on New York’s Lower East Side. After playing hundreds of shows in and around NYC, Spektor became the talk of the burgeoning music scene. Though she was selling many copies of CDs she had recorded and produced with friends (11:11 and Songs), it was her next album, Soviet Kitsch, that would become her calling card. Originally released as a CDR and handed out at shows, Spektor signed with Sire Records who re-released Soviet Kitsch in 2003. Since then, Spektor has become a worldwide phenomenon. Another album, Begin To Hope, was released in 2006, growing her profile across the globe. The disc sold over a million copies worldwide.
Now, Spektor is back with a new set of recordings: Far. As has been the case from her very first recordings in her college basement, the essence remains Spektor’s voice and piano, which conjure whole worlds of sound and image.
