Omschrijving

Singer and songwriter Natalia Zukerman‘s latest project, the studio album Come Thief, Come Fire, began as two separate projects. One was an EP of sparely arranged, largely acoustic material; the other, in contrast, utilized a full band. However, upon realizing that there existed between the material “an overarching theme about fire and its elemental capacity for destruction and growth”, which lead Zukerman to merge the two EPs into one full-length recording.
 Many songs on Come Thief, Come Fire were also inspired by the story of Vernon Shultis, a firefighter from the Woodstock, NY area who was a secret arsonist, setting over fifty barns on fire in the summer of 1997, who became known as Burnin’ Vernon. “I was fascinated by this man’s story…

…- his compulsion, his deception, the wake of confusion, destruction and mayhem he left behind,” Zukerman notes. “And then I thought of him standing and watching one of the houses burn- the colors, the smell, the way he felt. As a songwriter, I got to find the place of resonance with this character. I saw the simplicity and finality of it and the way that the colors of fire tell their own story: the reds, greens, blues, yellows and ultimate charcoal black.” Songs like “Hero” and “One Of Us” stem from Shultis’ story and the way fire entrances, compels and terrifies, all the while striking a stunning beauty and splendor.
