Les Sewing Sisters New Album (Friday, July 23, 2021)

 

LES SEWING SISTERS ALBUM RELEASE

Friday, July 23, 2021, is the release date for the first Les Sewing Sisters album Les Sewing Sisters on vinyl (Lun*na Music, EZ-039), Bandcamp, iTunes Store, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify.  The album is produced by Adam Lee Miller (ADULT.) and Lun*na Menoh.  Recorded in Detroit and Los Angeles. 

Les Sewing Sisters are Lun*na Menoh and Saori Mitome. You hear on Les Sewing Sisters noise from sewing machines fine-tuned via computer and the human voice. There are no guitars, drums, synths - just voices and the beautiful sound of the sewing machine. Lun*na and Saori looked back to the industrial age when the sewing machine came into existence and looked onward to making the ‘now’ sound of Les Sewing Sisters. Lun*na first started using her sewing machines as an instrument when she did a version of Maurice Ravel’s Bolero performed and premiered at the sold out Valaslavasay Panorama in 2016.  Les Sewing Sisters opened up for the band Sparks in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, they did the Les Sewing Sisters home tour, where they did 22 performances in people’s closet space. Lun*na also has a documentary film, “Who Is Lun*na Menoh?” directed by Jeff Mizushima, which won the best documentary film award at CAAMFEST 2021.

After releasing the nine-song album Les Sewing Sisters, there will be a live streaming show on Friday, July 30, 2021. More information will follow.
