SOLD OUT | SEM-001 The Epicureans - Introducing CDr Formed in 2008 The Epicureans have the hottest new sound out there. They range from sparse 'lowercase' type music to "full on" noise with a hardcore metal edge. At once playful and brutal, The Epicureans are your best friends and your enemies worst enemy. Featuring ex members of Kayo-Dot and Fetish and having releases on Tzadik, Hydrahead, Sedimental, and others between them - these players have developed a highly singular and curious approach to their instruments; alien sound worlds like you've never heard coming from nothing but an alto sax, double bass and parts of a drum kit. This is not an "improv" record; leave your jazz baggage at the door, this gets ugly... "The line in the sand that separates Improv and Noise has always been difficult to find, and albums like this seem to blow it away altogether". - The Wire "This is one of the most challenging releases I've heard in some time. The Epicureans give the listener no respite-- there is nothing to hold onto here. No ties to the conventional. Either listen intently or don't listen at all." - Foxy Digitalis Dave Gross sax Ricardo Donoso drums Ryan McGuire bass edition of 200: full color digipak,shrink-wrapped Press: mp3: Benefits, Disclosures, and Accommodation of Nothing www.theepicureans.net |
