Black Sea Hotel: Balkan vocals from Brooklyn locals

This post has been updated. Maybe you remember the album "Le Myst re des Voix Bulgares" by that large Bulgarian choir from the early '90s? Maybe not. Either way, New York's Black Sea Hotel takes some of the most compelling elements of Balkan folk music and strips them down to their barest form. The vocal trio executes the kind of close, difficult harmonies that inspired Kate Bush to collaborate with Trio Bulgarka, a Bulgarian vocal group, on her 1989 album, "The Sensual World."
