  • Feel With Blood: Echoes of Theresienstadt - CD

This is the second and final part of Lenka's project based on her grandmother's notebooks from Theresienstadt. This time, the beautiful poetry is in English so everyone can understand it. The 18 tracks are musically as varied as ever, from chamber folk to singer-songwriter, a cappella, and—new this time—Spoken Word. Also new, several notable duets and collaborations. You can also find the album on Bandcamp where the download comes with a booklet, and notes about each song (download = $7).

WELCOME to my store. 14 albums to choose from. You can shop here both for physical CDs and some downloads, or download through Bandcamp (this, my own site gives me, the artist, all the revenue; Bandcamp is the next best, they take only 15%). My albums live across various platforms for streaming and some for downloading - CD Baby, Amazon, Apple Music Spotify, Deezer… The last two are distributed by Six Degrees, and ARC Music Productions released the two albums before that, so those should be easy to find. BUT… if you still own a CD player, this is your ONLY place to buy real albums, with real booklets and real translations 😎. To hear the  music and for downloads, please scroll further down.
