Release Notes:
Formed in late August 2003, Hi Red Center are an endearingly odd
and distorted version of a familiar instrumental quartet. Consider
a drummer who swings effortlessly between lurching off-time
rhythms and anthemic beats, a drummer/vibraphone/electronic/
synth player who adds everything from burbling noise to conta-
gious melodies, a bassist who lays down the frenzied punch of
post-punk with the melodic dexterity of krautrock, and a guitarist/
trombonist that creates a rich textural fuzz that makes it rock.
They layer melody upon melody, and top it all off with vocal har-
monies reminiscent of an asymmetrical barbershop quartet. Their
music is a dizzying mix of rhythmic smashes, noisy harmonies, and
cultural innuendo that add up to graceful, sculpture-like songs.Hi
Red Center makes music for folks who like to sing, for people who
like to dance, and for everyone who likes their songs thoroughly
mixed and mashed!
