Биография

‘Desert Moon’, the forthcoming album, is evocative of Dekel’s sound as a singular artist; flavours of her inspirations with Bjork and Kate Bush mix with both her involvement with the natural world, and unique heritage to evoke the Latin Jazz of Astrid Gilberto fused with PJ Harvey. On ‘Desert Moon’, Dekel says: “Desert Moon is about a one way ticket to a never-ending journey. As hard as you try, you can’t find your way out, the way out is decided by higher forces that try to teach you, but if you don’t learn the lessons then you won’t find the way out.” A cultural melting pot, Dekel uses instrumentation such as the accordion and bayan which acknowledge her Russian heritage; there’s the exuberant uplift of traditional Israeli music, and there’s the lush, layered empathy indie folk, without sounding too indie. Forever grounded in nature, to this day, she volunteers to work with savannah animals in the countryside close to Tel-Aviv, a constant inspiration throughout her music.
