San Francisco quintet Crime In Choir are an instrumental rock
band, comparable to Faust, Goblin, Magma, Soft Machine, and
King Crimson. Founded in 2000, Crime In Choir released their
previous full-length releases on GSL (2006's "Trumpery
Metier"), Frenetic Records (2004's "The Hoop") and Omnibus
(2002's self-titled debut), respectively.
Comprised of founding members of the original At The Drive-In
(pianist Kenny Hopper and guitarist Jarrett Wrenn), as well as
members of The Fucking Champs (drummer Tim Soete), Jonas
Reinhardt (synth player Jesse Reiner + Kenny Hopper), and The
Mass (saxophonist Matt Waters), Crime In Choir have an
impressive pedigree and an even more impressive sound.
Described by Pitchfork Media as "an indie-prog monolith,
blending intense mathrock spazz-outs with dense, dreamy
melodies", Crime In Choir have created a name for themselves
among the ranks of prog-revivalists.
Intent on reinvigorating and updating the genre for today's
discriminating, post-everything indie-rock listener, Crime In
Choir's 4th album, "Gift Givers", expands on the complex
interweaving of melody, composition and sound-scape heard on
2006's "Trumpery Metier". "Gift Givers" brings a complex suite
of seven songs that harkens back to the golden age of prog
while leaping infinitely forward in textures, composition and
grace, making "Gift Givers" the penultimate progressive rock
album that will forever be remembered.
"Gift Givers" was recorded by band member Matt Waters,
mastered by Pete Lyman and will be released in early 2009 by
Kill Shaman Records (U.S.) and Moorworks (Japan).
"Gift Givers" is manufactered with 100% recylced paper
eco-wallet sleeves and includes no plastic products.
