Eleni Mandell — Miracle Of Five

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) February 7, 2007 12:52 pm
Some people have referred to Eleni Mandell as the female Tom Waits. This may be true of the incisive, poetic narratives in her lyrics, but in many ways she's more like the American Sarah Harmer. Mandell possesses a similarly warm and mellow yet smoky tone. Miracle Of Five is a beautifully understated collection of songs that have an old-fashioned...

Eleni Mandell Appreciates Inspiration

in
By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) March 30, 2009 1:26 pm
Eleni Mandell lives somewhere in that world between PJ Harvey and Feist, where she coos and brays away and makes obsessively diehard fans in the process. CHARTattack talked to Mandell about her most recent album, Artificial Fire. CHARTattack: Where does the title Artificial Fire come from? Eleni Mandell: The title Artificial Fire comes from...

Eleni Mandell Sets Faux Fires

in
By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) February 25, 2009 3:28 pm
Eleni Mandell has a thing for words. When Mandell isn't touring behind her cabaret-style songs, the Los Angeles-based artist toys with French and English translations or plays Scrabble. Her latest effort, Artificial Fire, ignites literary sparks. "Fireworks translated into French is 'feux [d']artifice,' which I translated literally back...

This L.A. singer-songwriter's voice is all over the place. One minute, she kinda almost, slightly might sound somewhat similar to Sarah Slean, and the next, she's half yelling in a completely different tone. Much like the mess of dots on the album cover, I don't get where she's going with this...

Eleni Mandell Brings Miracle To Toronto

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) May 9, 2007 5:00 pm
Eleni Mandell is a bit of a musical conundrum. Her latest album, Miracle Of Five, is a slow-burning, sultry collection of songs that range from jazzy to Sarah Harmer-esque country-folk. But her influences range from seminal Los Angeles punk band X to Randy Newman, Tom Waits and Cole Porter. She even confesses to jumping around her living room...

Eleni Mandell's Miracle Of Five Coming In February

in
By Crissandra Ayroso (CHARTattack) November 1, 2006 6:30 pm
Los Angeles singer/songwriter Eleni Mandell is somewhat inexplicably calling her sixth album Miracle Of Five. The record, due on February 6, will be released by Toronto-based Zedtone Records in North America and V2 in Europe, Australia and Japan. It follows 2004's Afternoon, which earned Mandell the "best local singer" title from Los...

Eleni Mandell — Country For True Lovers

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) February 18, 2003 2:23 pm
As the title would indicate, Country For True Lovers has Mandell stepping out of the smoky cabaret and into the honky-tonk for 12 aching torch songs. Thankfully, Mandell resists the temptation to lay on the shtick and subtly uses country music's cliches to her advantage rather than playing Patsy Cline karaoke. Her eight authentic-sounding...

Eleni Mandell Comes Home To Canada

in
By CHARTattack Staff March 8, 2002 5:00 pm
It's not uncommon for Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Eleni Mandell to be mistaken as a Canadian and as Canadians, we don't mind pretending that she's one of our own. The sultry singer has received gobs of support from the Canadian press, particularly in Toronto, and has found herself touring in this country more than a few times. Last...
