Biography

The Cherries Are Speaking is the sixth album by Dan Knishkowy's Adeline Hotel, and second of 2021. Eschewing the intricate guitar work of Good Timing in favor of breezy piano lines inspired by Ethiopian jazz, Cherries is a series of miniature baroque pop songs and, quietly, his most ambitious work to date. The playing is often supported by just bass and drums, before pastoral wind and string orchestrations creep in, informed at turns by Judee Sill’s neo-classicism and the mystic woodwinds of ‘80s Van Morrison. The Cherries Are Speaking’s recapitulations of and daring shifts away from Knishkowy’s previous work feed into its musical and thematic depth, which speaks far beyond the real-world context of its writing. The album is a bold but unforced gesture from an artist whose creative lifeblood is the sense of constantly pushing forward, creating new links in a daisy chain of a discography which seems to compound upon itself in significance with each new entry.
