In East is East, Pepi Ginsberg and her collaborators step into the golden hour of the day and embrace "The most ephemeral of seasons." A mood and a time where we "know that change is coming in the form of a cool wind; we hold on until we let go." The song 'Summer Sick as Love' accomplishes this feeling, with its mythical descriptions of gutter punks and wind ravaged stop-signs, while other songs, such as 'Shake This', prove Ginsberg as a true craftswoman, expounding emotion through simple, yet profound turns of phrase. Tracks, such as the electrically defiant 'Lost River,' find Ginsberg pushing against lyrical and melodic boundaries, in a story of adventure that ends in a cry of freedom from behind the walls of a jail. 'Coca Cola' is classic Pepi. Here again, her words, cadence, and delivery remind us that she participates in the great American songwriting tradition, even as she places her songs in an entirely new context. Ginsberg, with arrangements expertly handled by her band, creates a world with East is East, that is "the season in between," and parts the waters, navigating change in the sea of these strange times.
