█░█ ôLulls the listener into a stupor with slight █░█
█░█ shades of soul, krautrock, bossa nova, hip hop, █░█
█░█ psych, punk funk and New York noise. Prepare to █░█
█░█ be bowled over.ö Philadelphia City Paper █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ ôRaw, ferociously funky stuff that nods towards █░█
█░█ 70s Miles, with Artanker driving the whole train █░█
█░█ from behind his kit.ö Time Out New York █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Cozy Endings captures the finest moments so far █░█
█░█ of a two year experiment between the psychedelic █░█
█░█ rock group Artanker Convoy and the art collective █░█
█░█ MUX. This CD/DVD set offers the seeker the rare █░█
█░█ opportunity to catch a glimpse of the aural and █░█
█░█ visual experience that have only been available █░█
█░█ to live audiences in limited locations. Artanker █░█
█░█ Convoy generates the sound: alien waves █░█
█░█ punctuated by sly rhythms that accommodate a █░█
█░█ crowd whether it is dancing, watching the visuals █░█
█░█ or relaxing. MUX brings to bear the combined █░█
█░█ visual acumen of choreographers, lighting █░█
█░█ specialists and video artists to create an █░█
█░█ ethereal landscape through which the band █░█
█░█ dissolves and dancers flow through. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Artanker entered into psychedelic rock when he █░█
█░█ and LCD SoundsytemÆs James Murphy formed the Jinx █░█
█░█ Clambake Explosion in the early 90s. Joe █░█
█░█ Fiorentino joined soon after but the precocious █░█
█░█ band self-destructed after a single spectacular █░█
█░█ year. Artanker and Fiorentino reunited to form █░█
█░█ Stratotanker, and Murphy recorded most of the █░█
█░█ records that followed. The members, together now █░█
█░█ almost six years, have become attuned to each █░█
█░█ others thoughts, able to follow each other as █░█
█░█ they constantly redefine and sculpt their songs.. █░█
█░█ They are expert musical collagists who take █░█
█░█ strips of one genre and interpose them with █░█
█░█ swatches of others. What results are seamless █░█
█░█ dioramas that seduce the listener with light █░█
█░█ aural caresses, swinging melodies, and power █░█
█░█ flourishes that are layered on top of each other █░█
█░█ like thin silk sheets. On every one of Cozy █░█
█░█ Endings tracks there is an interplay between the █░█
█░█ instruments dropping in and then withdrawing. █░█
█░█ Sometimes taking the lead and other times █░█
█░█ dropping into a deep pocket. But those leads are █░█
█░█ not about virtuosity; every note serves the █░█
█░█ groove. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ The nine videos on the DVD featured here range █░█
█░█ from MUX-Convoy live performances to animation to █░█
█░█ abstract op-art, providing a constant flow of █░█
█░█ stimulation similar to the experience of one of █░█
█░█ their shows. The CD contains ConvoyÆs most fully █░█
█░█ realized studio compositions to date. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ MUX has performed with Artanker Convoy and their █░█
█░█ music at Symphony Space, Tonic, The Knitting █░█
█░█ Factory, CBGBs, Galapagos, and the Mercosur █░█
█░█ Theater Festival in Cordoba , Argentina. Their █░█
█░█ lighting and video artists have created work for █░█
█░█ the Juan Maclean, Electricculture Chicago, Maura █░█
█░█ Baiocchi and Transcultura, the Electronic █░█
█░█ Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University █░█
█░█ of Illinois at Chicago, and clothing designer █░█
█░█ Jhane Barnes. Choreographer and dancer Nicole █░█
█░█ Wolcot is the Associate Artistic. Director of █░█
█░█ Keigwin and Company, has danced in the █░█
█░█ Metropolitan Opera under Mark Dendy, worked with █░█
█░█ site specific choreographer Noemie Lafrance, and █░█
█░█ dances in a soon to be released Julie Taymor █░█
█░█ movie. She is featured on the cover of this █░█
█░█ CD/DVD set. █░█
