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.
