Liszl is an Austrian vocalist whose intimate approach to jazz-inflected chanson emerged from Vienna's underground music scene in the late 1980s. This self-released 1991 album is a collection of vocal ballads and character sketches that blend conversational storytelling with sophisticated jazz harmonies and pop sensibility. The production is spare and elegant—Liszl's voice sits close and personal in the mix, accompanied by tasteful arrangements that never oversell the material. There's a reflective, late-night quality to these songs, the kind of album you'd put on for a glass of wine and some quiet thinking. As a self-released Austrian recording from this era, it remains quite difficult to track down.
