█ With Michael ColumbiaÆs ôThese are Colored Barsö a fresh new █
█ episode of music is delivered on Galapagos4Æs Alabaster █
█ series. Veterans of the experimental indi rock triangle of █
█ Chicago, Philly and Athens, the duo of David McDonnell, of █
█ Bablicon (Misra Records), Olivia Tremor Control (Elephant 6) █
█ and Need New Body (file 13), and Dylan Ryan, of Icey Demons █
█ (Cloud Recordings) and Orso (Perishable) came together to █
█ experiment with a new combination of sounds and beats. █
█ Through the filtered bass tones weaving in and around, █
█ synths, saxophone, clarinet, violin and delay, synthetic █
█ ambient vocals sinuously drone over pressurized machine █
█ crushing beats. Sonic payoffs build up, floating in and out █
█ of Michael ColumbiaÆs heavy low end foundations and █
█ orchestral textures. Imagine youÆre in Lee PerryÆs studio █
█ with a robot clone of Don Henley whoÆs been raised on █
█ Kraftwerk, that almost sums up MCÆs sound. ôThese are █
█ Colored Barsö gets to the core of electronic rock through █
█ heavy seductive drumming topped off with spacedout vocal █
█ hand horn textures Michael Columbia takes you from the █
█ streets of Chicago into the far reaches of space. One minute █
█ you're in the soundtrack to Bladerunner, the next you're █
█ driving underneath tracks racing trains, keeping pace with █
█ some classic power rock. Only a city like this could spawn █
█ such a moody, humorous and danceable album.... █
█ - Recorded at ChicagoÆs Truckstop Studio and produced by █
█ Griffin Rodriguez, DJ White Lightning and Butchey Fuego of █
█ Pitter Pat. █
█ - Michael Columbia members have spent the past four years █
█ touring with Need New Body, Olivia Tremor Control, Bablicon █
█ and Icey Demons. █
