Donna Regina

A Quiet Week In The House is perfect for Northern dwellers who fear winter and consider video rental as their main pastime while snow falls. Simple and pleasant lyrics, Regina Janssen’s wispy Euro-accented vocals are to the ears what hot pads are to frozen fingers. Your winter woes will melt from exposure to the consistent lightness and overt optimism. Regina and brother Gunther are an effective German duo, joined on the title track by the always smooth Herbert. As with the cold we are escaping, over exposure to the impossibly serene soundscape could leave one with the sniffles, or worse.
