Have you ever witnessed a twilight that lingered so long, you
almost forgot there was still night to follow? The Occasion
brings us back to this place-a place where space and time seem
lost, where music abandons all linear concepts and moves only
to fill the vast expanse.
As the cover art of an arid wasteland suggests, listening to
The Occasion leaves you feeling small and alone, yet
surrounded by something as familiar and warm as the desert
wind. This may be due to the subtle evoking of John Cale's
black magic, the stunning, yet dense, layering of Brian
Wilson, the enigmatic building of Pink Floyd, or maybe it's
the merging of what has become familiar technology into it's
most organic and tangible form. Either way, The Occasion draw
you into a dreaming place where your senses are stirred and
the slow repetition of the phrase 'eaten out by a moth'
somehow becomes beautiful.
The Occasion are a New York-based band who after three years
together, have evolved into a line-up as puzzling and involved
as their sound. Lead and backing vocals switch between
acoustic/electric pianist Brent Cordero, guitarist Jordi
Wheeler and drummer Charles Burst. Marlon Sporer contributes a
careful and melodic bass backbone while Sara Shaw acts as a
figurative and literal eye of the tornado with her cerebral
tape loops and supplementary percussion. The Occasion have
developed a fanbase by touring with Interpol and The Unicorns
and have recently been playing shows around NY with Inouk, On!
Air! Library!, The Double and more.
There is little more to be known about The Occasion than what
you hear, little more to understand than what lies before you.
The Occasion-5 bodies, 10 hands, one monolith of sound that is
not soon forgotten.
