   About TALKDEMONIC
Speakers everywhere this fall will rejoice with the arrival of Eyes at Half Mast, the third record from Talkdemonic. The Portland, Oregon duo of Kevin O’Connor and Lisa Molinaro have been playing together since 2003; she plays the viola and cello, while he plays everything else, including, but not limited to: drums, synths, and acoustic instruments. The result is an intoxicating blend of symphonic strings and explosive percussion; achingly beautiful music.
Eyes at Half Mast is the band’s high water mark. The album teems with moments of spirited beauty, (especially on “Duality of Deathening” and “March Movement”) and of haunting elegies (as exemplified by “Tides in Their Grave” and “Dust and Heat”). There are passages filled with raw dissonance on the record, such as the release and tension offered by “Civilian," There is a sense of loss and memory running through many of these songs, but the tone of the record is ultimately one of hope, a satisfyingly dark vitality that embraces melodic confidence.
Talkdemonic continue to expand the range of emotion that they are able to evoke without words. The band is emerging in terms of composition, song structure and recording, and the sound crystallizes here. Talkdemonic hit a stride in songwriting with tunes like “Ending the Orange Glow” and “Black Wood Crimson,” which feature complex arrangements, layers and harmonies. It’s worth noting that O’Connor mixed thirteen of the fourteen songs from this set.
Audiences admire Talkdemonic for their uncompromisingly cathartic and bewitching live sets, as they witness the co-mingling of O'Connor's rhythmic prowess and Molinaro's tempestuous craft. It becomes a welcome contagion, to know Talkdemonic, as they remind us continue to treat music as something of crucial importance and endless amazement.

THIS SATURDAY / ALL AGES / BERBATI'S PAN



It's been awhile since Kevin O'Connor and Lisa Molinaro emerged from their Talkdemonic lair, and even longer since the duo played an all-ages show for the kiddies. So to what do we owe this rarest of appearances? A year removed from the release of Eyes at Half Mast, Talkdemonic is moving onward, expanding their sound, and previewing their expansion tonight in the form of a few new songs. O'Connor hints at a "new direction" for their upcoming long-player, which is set to be captured on tape later this year. Meanwhile, we have not heard a peep about a 2009 recording from the fresh-faced youngsters in Southern Belle. Let this be my formal request for some new songs. Please Hurry Up and Thrill Me once again." EAC - The Portland Mercury

"[THE NEW WEIRD] Splitting its home base between Brooklyn and Austin, indie experimentalists Mothfight! certainly picked the right locations if they’re looking to blow up in 2009. Musically, it’s in the right place as well, working in that emerging genre that can only be called “whatever the fuck Animal Collective is.” The band’s psychedelic sound collage frames catchy melodies in a style that rewards those strong enough to fight through the initial disorientation. Welcome to pop’s future today." MATTHEW SINGER - The Willamette Week.

I hope Eyes is still available on vinyl. I was disappointed that I didn't see you on the bill for Sasquatch this year. I guess I'll just have to be content with seeing Justin!
