Review

Dirty Linen (pp.85-86) - "The music's multicultural style encompasses French nouvelle vague, classical chamber music, Gypsy swing, Indian ragas, and Latin rhythms, among other genres."
Global Rhythm (Publication) (pp.48-49) - "[A] poppy and catchy blend of gypsy swing, jazz, Latin, French chanson and other world music styles..."

Title Note

Rupa Marya was born of Indian parents, lives in San Francisco, spends her days as a doctor, and writes songs in French and Spanish. She's backed by a six-piece band of multi-instrumentalists. EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION, the 2008 debut record for Rupa & the April Fishes, has that rare Manu Chao quality of sounding as if it's from a million different locations at once, and from nowhere at all. Songs like "Maintenant," "Poder," and "Une Americaine … Paris" cull from elements of tango, raga, cabaret, French pop, and American folk for a disorienting rapture of sound. She can also slow it down, as on the Western-tinged indie balladry of the haunting "La Pecheuse." It all wraps up in English with "Wishful Thinking," a mournful modern-folk waltz that somehow is the only possible way the record could end.
