Release Notes:
Small Sails is a music and film making collective from Portland, Oregon. The
music is a gorgeous post-electronic tribal thing and the films are performed
live at their shows using original reel-to-reel footage and dual projectors.
A field of dandelions plowed over, inner-city kids jumping double-dutch in
gritty streets, birds and waterfalls, playground vocals, clicky electronics and
warm, spacey melodies - that's what Small Sails looks and sounds like.
Small Sails have toured extensively, performing almost 100 shows in 2006.
Their new music is different, too: chanting, humming vocals hint at tangibility
while remaining half-submerged; rhythms are a baby-bouncing jumble of eclectic
percussion and twittering electronics; and achingly gorgeous melodies get
stripped down to the still-gleaming bone.
To experience Small Sails' live show is to become immersed in a seemingly
unparalleled rhythm and energy. The visual and sonic interplay are hypnotic and
their on-stage chemistry and fluidity are nothing short of warm and inviting.
Through their unique, multi-faceted coaxing of the senses, they create an
environment that commands undivided attention and adoration.
