Release Notes:
NFI is excited to announce the release of the new album from Albany's
Complicated Shirt, Compromising Compositions. A joint release with Alone
Records, the new album will be available nationally January 9th, 2007.
Compromising Compositions is the follow up to 2004's very acerbic Strigine,
which garnered wide critical acclaim, including the praises of the Village
Voice's Chuck Eddy and Canadian music magazine Exclaim!, as well as airplay
across the United States.
BIOGRAPHY
Albany, NY's Complicated Shirt released their first album, Strigine, in 2004, a
riotous and lyrical look at, among other targets, a disaffected middle-class and
corporate rock's 'talent abyss'. The album gained the band fans across the
country. After touring behind this release, the band recorded their latest
effort in 2006, with additional help from Marc Fuller (Kanye West,
Sparklehorse). The fruit of their labors will be realized in 2007 with their
NFI/Alone Records debut, Compromising Compositions. On this new release the
three-piece expand their palette to include woodwinds, brass, cello and violin.
Benton's acerbic lyrics burn through the sublime instrumentation throughout; and
though the band has ratcheted up the complexity of their songs, the delivery is
no less powerful.
