beth silver

New single released with a stunning animation video!!! Inspired by Ashkenazi folklore, a young girl is cautioned by her grandmother before heading into the woods to forage. In the forest she encounters the wintry cryptid Lekhoet, which possesses the ability to replicate its prey by conjuring soulless doppelgängers. Ladom Ensemble's music is a backdrop in her scramble to help her village outsmart the monster. This is a music video animated by Jewish-Canadian artist @yoel.o.fellow (Adam Silver). Its music is an arrangement of part of a well-known (within the niche community) collection of klezmer violin pieces, the Rumanische Fantasien, made known by Josef Solinski. Beth Silver has extensively studied klezmer music and made several extended trips to Eastern Europe to research and enrich her traditional musical practice. Adam immersed himself in Ashkenazi folklore to inform him in creating the original story for the video. Watch the whole video or listen to our single on Spotify. Link in bio: Credits: Yoel O.

Last month, I met a guy who was soon-to-be moving to Mexico. He persuaded me to go down and visit him for a fun vacation, and then uninvited me the day after I bought tickets. So I wrote a song about it. I don’t think I’ve ever made a public “musical diary entry” as my friend Jenna called it, or as my friend Tom has referred to it, my diss track. Guerilla filming done by good friend and roomie Victoria Jae! 💁🏻‍♀️ Points if you can name the Bloorcourt neighbourhood haunts where each “date” takes place.
