San Francisco quintet Crime In Choir are an instrumental progressive rock band, comparable to Faust, Goblin, Magma, Soft Machine, etc. Founded in 2000, Crime In Choir released their previous full-length releases on Frenetic Records (2004’s The Hoop) and Omnibus (2002’s self-titled debut), respectively. The band’s third full-length, Trumpery Metier, was recorded by Tim Green, and is their first release for GSL. 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), Citay (synth player Jesse Reiner), 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 Trumpery Metier shows every indication of being a landmark recording of the early 21st. century. - Terrobird Media

CIC! I'm really suprised at the sound youve made after The Hoop. Gift Givers sounds great -really colorful; i've been a huge fan for a while and was wondering what pushed you to create your self titled album? Blew me away when i first heard it. Man, i am really impressed with your music! Thanks for the add
nice music guys... its interesting to stumble on you guys through the volta site... sometimes I wonder if they're the only band that's pushing so hard... but it seems there are nooks and crannies that bring out the goodnesses... from china, have a good one...
sure do dig your sound...or sounds as it may be...easy on the ears...ind in between...hope you like our vibe as well...much respect and support from the Goatskins...cheers..
I would like nothing more than to ride shotgun in a cutlass supreme with Jackie Chan while listening to "Gift Givers." I think he would really like it.
gift givers is one of the best songs i've heard in a while. you guys have been a huge influence on us in our recent writing. whenever I show people our song "if the glass breaks" they say it reminds them of crime in choir
Crime in Chior, You guys are awesome. I was turned on to you by my lover and best friend Corey Parrish. He tragically passed away 2/27/08. He loved you guys so much and your music will always help me to keep all of our wonderful memories fresh in my mind. please please take a moment to give his music a listen. He would have been honored. www. myspace. com/dillymcsilly thank you so very much and with all the love and music in the universe, Lauren Malandra
