-----------------------
This NY-based studio collective consists of Matthias Bossi (Skeleton Key,
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum), Joel Hamilton (Sparklehorse, Elvis Costello), Tony
Maimone (Pere Ubu, Frank Black, They Might Be Giants), and Carla Kihlstedt (Tom
Waits, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum). With guests Carla Bozulich, Megan Reilly, Jon
Langford, David Thomas, Mike Watt, and Tom Waits, their debut bills itself as "a
tribute to the American Rust Belt". They paint a haunting modern-day portrait of
cities like Cleveland, Youngstown, Toledo, and Detroit; places that once were
the definition of American motivation, progress, and industry, but now are home
to ruined monuments of a bygone era. The sonic landscape is painted with
scraping, swirling guitars, soaring string arrangements, rupturing bass, and
plate-shattering drums.
Enjoy!
