: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Mute Duo is creating some of the most elemental, progressive :,
: music today. Lapse in Passage is undeniable proof of that. :
:' ':
,: Hailing from Chicago, Mute Duo (A.K.A. Sam Wagster and Skyler :,
: Rowe) create sweeping grand soundscapes with a remarkable :
:' combination of pedal steel, piano and percussion. Shades of ':
,: spiritual jazz, post rock and the bare, broken down essentials :,
: of country all float about on this record, forming something :
:' completely new, daring and monumental. ':
,: :,
: On tracks like ôCanopy Bells,ö the steel guitar sways and groans :
:' like a huge, slowly advancing tanker, while clattering metallic ':
,: percussion keeps the song in an ethereal, spontaneous space. :,
: These chiming and off-kilter rhythms eventually charge up to a :
:' machine gun pace, as a drum kit takes over and the once ':
,: peaceful pedal steel begins ripping and roaring like a great :,
: angered beast. The tension of the duoÆs performances rises :
:' towards a peak as the song sparks and frays out of control, ':
,: like their very instruments are about burst into flames, and :,
: then the song finally climaxes and fades into an eerie silence. :
:' ':
,: A great deal of the record feels like if some sort of :,
: extra-sensitive antennae was capturing the rhythms of city life :
:' and weather patterns, and then transcribing them into sound. ':
,: The beat of the percussion often seems to mimic the footsteps of :,
: rushing pedestrians, the chaos of morning traffic and the :
:' pitter-patter of rain drops against window panes. Meanwhile, ':
,: the deeply reverberating steel swells and coasts like towering :,
: cumulonimbus clouds and plummets like a sudden downdraft. :
:' Wagster and RoweÆs improvisational abilities must be directly ':
,: influenced by their surrounding environment. This skill alone :,
: must make every live show of theirs utterly breathtaking and :
:' unique (get at these guys, tapers!) ':
