Release Notes:
After generating a steady positive buzz from their live shows the release of
INDICIA'S first album on kanpai records culminates phase one of Betsy Ullery and
David Ward's cognitive yet ethereal musical collaboration. Looking forward, the
duo aims to keep after what moves them musically to make their singular mark.
The INDICIA sound has already provoked more than a few raves. Bill Picture of
the San Francisco Examiner calls it a "highly infectious strain of itchy
electromagnetic funk...a trippy mix of slow rollin', hypno breaks, Ursula
Rucker-style spoken word and ethereal Portishead-style vocals." Betsy details
the INDICIA approach: " Our music is about combining two forces --the reality of
our world and the reality of our collective subconscious. We want to be an
example of how different genres and musical mentalities can combine and work."
Says Dave of INDICIA'S open-to-anything style: "We just let it happen."
"Indicia's trip-hop-flavored sound coats a room with an atmosphere as thick as
pea soup. The duo has been compared to Portishead and the Sneaker Pimps...But
[Ullery and Ward] generally eschew a beatific sexuality."
-Sara Torribio-Bond, Music Connection Magazine
"INDICIA has a style that is alive and moving. The songs come at you full force
and don't stop."
