‘Vaudeville” combines Bartley’s astute lyrical observations (delivered in his distinctive baritone voice) with hypnotic musical arrangements that glide between the minimalistic and the majestic. The acoustic basis of guitar or piano, is augmented, when needed, by glockenspiel, harmonium, percussion, string quartet or drehorgel.The result is a magnetic mixture of deeply personal songwriting that shifts deftly between classical poise, lo-fi balladry and cinematic grandeur. The “warmth and richness of the music” is best described said one critic “ by imagining Leonard Cohen accompanied by Michael Nyman on piano and Joey Burns (Calexico) on drums”
