Sainte Chapelle is Dan Schneider and Gary Pyskacek (both of Pedal Steel
Transmission) fleshing out ideas and molding improvisations. The group
formed in 2000 to release it's self titled EP for Cardboard Sangria
Records, a collection of 5 improvised pieces recorded in a weekend
following a mind-bending month-long trip to Europe, and the necessary
withdrawal from life that followed. The new material was realized while
preparing for shows with the likes of Dan Friel, Ty Braxton, the Zombies, Nina
Nastasia, and others. "Soon to Fail" was recorded throughout 2003 at Blaise
Barton Studios by longtime pedal steel transmission collaborator Brett
Barton, and includes added violin by Joon Hee Park. The new material
reflects the increasingly tighter and more focused mentality of the group,
and more involved recording techniques than the first record.
