COMING UP :: VORSCHAU :: Thursday's M:SOUNDTRACK presents on 26.02.2009 :: Shooting Spires (Brooklyn,NY/Parts and Labour) + Kid Ikarus and friends
B.J. Warshaw, aka SHOOTING SPIRES, plays bass and sings in the Brooklyn experimental outfit band Parts & Labor. His one-man-band debut album, a surprisingly epic production that sounds like the work of several people despite its bedroom origins, has gorgeous washes of electric guitar along with countless space-defining and space-erasing effects. With the rusty rasp of TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Warshaw narrates some indecipherable but still memorable high-altitude night cruises. This is Boris rendered indie for the attention deficient-- a storyboarded version of drone that occasionally asks us to dance, shimmy, or merely nod. But there's no shoegazing or drug-taking required; it's too down-to-earth for that.
KID IKARUS...With Punk Rock in the heart, love of experiments in the head and precious dilettantism in the fingertips Kid Ikarus means living room beats with landscape bleeps on tape and an entertaining lo-fi mess, yet a gregarious instrumentalist on stage.
