Yazbek Shows the Journey of Life in New Animated Film

David Yazbek has delivered a beautiful, emotionally complex new video as a complement to his equally moving ballad 'Steps of Another Man's House.' The animated video, by artist Onur Tukel, traces life's journey from infancy to parenthood, and depicts a child's initial loss of innocence, individuality and freedom...But when that child grows up and becomes a father himself, he is able to learn from his early traumas, and let his son literally grow wings and fly...

It is the type of intelligent counterpoint one has come to expect from David Yazbek, an innovative pop/rock artist who continues to deliver his art in ways that defy conventional wisdom. In fact, The NY Times has described his recent CD 'Evil Monkey Man' as containing "remarkably well-crafted images that startle but please."

Yazbek will make his Spiegelworld debut next week, on September 15th.

The upcoming show will feature songs from Yazbek's acclaimed 'Evil Monkey Man,' which has been universally praised for its "dark, often troubling" songs. When Yazbek presented the material at Lincoln Center earlier this year, The New York Times called the show "A Woozy Thrill Ride on a Volcano's Edge," and raved: "The songwriter David Yazbek is a daredevil juggler catching spiked pins in the traveling carnival of his imagination."
