The Secret Language of Subways

Chosen as one of the Top 10 Classical CDs of 2009 by Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle. “Her songs channel the rhythms of urban life through the seriocomic sensibility of a born entertainer.”

Residue

“I’ve been listening to Amy X Neuburg’s ‘Residue’… I think I’m in love. Neuburg is a new kind of multi-threat composer, a wonder of sampling, overdubbing, electronic manipulation… a fabulous singer. Exhilarating originality.” — Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

Buy: Other Minds, CD Baby, amazon, itunes

Residue (2004) comprises meticulously arranged studio versions of Amy’s earliest ‘avant-cabaret’ performance pieces for voice, electronic drums and live looping electronics. Read More »

Sports! Chips! Booty!

“Nothing short of a quirky, intelligent pop masterpiece.” — Allmusic Guide

Buy: CDBaby, amazon, itunes

Sports! (1999) captures the energy of Amy X Neuburg & Men’s rambunctious stage show — a unique blend of art-rock, electronic weirdness, old-timey cabaret and social commentary. The new line-up of Men has a distinctive beefy herky-jerky Manly sound. Read More »

UTECHMA

“Neuburg makes music whose dizzy mix of complexity, accessibility, and intensity are matched by few… The Men ace her arrangements with humor and discipline.” — Musician Magazine

Buy: CDBaby, amazon, itunes

1995. Amy and her Men are finding their “sound” in this first release, and the result is enjoyably eclectic, with songs ranging from artsy to intimate to world-beat. The Men pipe in with quirky vocals and the occasional short improv. Read More »

Songs 91 to 85

“Neuburg’s talents as songwriter, singer, arranger, studio technician, and keyboardist distinguish this remarkable release… Neuburg is a major player in her own right, a unique voice in the true sense of the word.” — Keyboard Magazine

Buy: CDBaby, itunes

1992. Created mostly while Amy was a college student, as a “pop” reaction to her classical training, Songs has a charmingly lo-tech quality — the result of cheap equipment and unofficial all-nighters in the basement studio. Regardless, you can hear the odd textures and intimate multi-layered vocals that have become part of Amy’s signature sound. Read More »

Overheard....

“A wonderful composer-performer… Her songs channel the rhythms of urban life through the seriocomic sensibility of a born entertainer… Neuburg’s musical inventiveness proves a delight throughout.”

— Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle
