Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra Find Their Twisted Bliss
Ethan Lipton writes plays, and songs, and\xa0 sometimes, plays with songs. His musical No Place To Go won an Obie for its trenchant take on the decline of the American workspace, and in another musical, The Outer Space, a couple finds that they can flee planet earth but not its problems. Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra, according to their own biography,\xa0offer "modern lounge with a chewy singer-songwriter center"\xa0with songs that may\xa0present\xa0a melancholy wit and a cockeyed worldview. Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra, his longstanding four-piece band, have a new album out, called Did You Do The Thing We Talked About, and\xa0they play some of these songs in-studio.
