Release Notes:
Singer/songwriter, designer and actor David Wiley Rennick, best known for
producing two internationally celebrated albums as part of Dappled Cities, has
turned his hand to a blend of myth, music and storytelling with his least
democratic work to date, The Curse of Company.
THE LAND occupied by The Curse of Company is eerily embodied in the debut
record, Leo Magnets joins a gang, and for its creation Rennick collaborated
with the equally enigmatic talents of the redsunbands Sarah Kelly (vocals), Mr
Bungle / Secret Chiefs 3s Danny Heifetz (drums, percussion), Jack Ladder (bass
guitar), and Gerlings Burke Reid (co-producer, engineer).
THE GANG extends to involve other prolific and committed artists (including
photographer Glen Wilk Wilkie and film director Zane Pearson), seeing the
entire alliance reminiscent of that momentous Australian era that spawned the
likes of The Dirty Three and The Bad Seeds.
THE MUSIC draws on Rennicks multi-platform artistic practices to convey story
on a massive scale, mixing the psychedelic influence of The Velvet Underground
with Neil Youngs scalding alt-rock and folk, and drawing on classic,
coming-of-age storytelling that recalls a dizzying mix of The Odyssey, Blade
Runner, 2001 and Apocalypse Now.
