Sunroof!
The Skaters
The skaters say that the substance of their music is defined by the interplay of ideas & the transformation of themselves into characters while playing, living & using their inner dialogue that comes with cognizing the symbols of the outside world as a ground for the music to stand. We say that they kick ass & should be seen to be heard. Expect Ecstatic chants looped through archaic delay units and played at a monstrous volume through old and broken amplifiers.
Heather Leigh Murray
Heather Leigh Murray’s been refining a musical vocabulary for some time. Earlier work with Charalambides and Scorces showed Leigh constructing a sparse dwelling erected from single string drone, roiling beams of pedal steel, and wordless cooing that touched even as it terrified.
Solo, Leigh's vocals deconstruct the bluest blues as she smears sounds into each other; dog whistle tones are scratched into glass, only to be smashed by Leigh’s fisted voice as it screams and howls over and over again, bloodied by the shards of song.Her beautiful playing has a profoundly American Primitive vibe; marrying avant folk forms with a deeply personal bent as effortlessly as marching saints like Bob Dylan, Albert Ayler or Little Howling Wolf.
Tight Meat
Like all the great visionary thinkers of our time, from Iggy to Arthur Doyle, David Keenan and Alex Neilson are autodidactic polymaths devolving advanced thought back to punk-primitive motion. These Glaswegian deviants are prime examples of the new wave of free musicians acting on impulse, the sound of European steel, gospelised free jazz white out combined with the kind of primitive-modernist breakthroughs that should destroy middle-brow art music through the ultra-focused application of leery flesh-based magic and phonetically primitive power stomps.
Sunroof!
Taking cues from minimalist composers, Indian music, and assorted folk musics, Sunroof! use guitar, violin, hand percussion, and reeds to build up layer upon layer of stratospheric bliss. The unhurried and slowly unfolding delivery, layers of sound float, sometimes gentle, sometimes excoriating electric. Fuzzy, spaced music perfect for pillows.
