They put them out as fast as they made them, and the whole weird adventure was captured in what became OLV - Old Light Variations, a box set of 5 tapes. We could never repeat this insane, magic journey together if we tried. Our band went through such deep transformations, as people, as musicians, as friends. We found ourselves tested on every level. And we are still finding out what's in store--the most recent shift toward keyboard from guitar has opened some seemingly infinite portals of musical potential. And now, out of that, comes the new album. Kinda like in the old days, bands would come to a producer with a stack of demos, and the producer would whip them into shape. Except in their case, they released the demos first. Anyway, the original 8-track tapes were digitized (no cassette hiss this time!) and the songs were taken apart--in some cases, performing major arrangement surgery, in others, just cranking em through some better signal path and hearing them shine. Many guests were invited, and showed up to the party: Mike Coykendall, Scott McPherson, Tim Cohen (Fresh & Onlys), Sara Lund (Unwound, Hungry Ghost), Greg Olin (Graves, Au Dunes), and Steve Berlin (The Flesh Eaters, The Blasters, Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs, & Los Lobos). Eli Crews (tune-yardsf, why?, yoko ono) mixed it while building his incredible new studio in Brooklyn. The full-length LP “ICE PHARAOH” will be released in early 2015. In August 2014, the band suddenly had to adapt to a shift in tone and live arrangements when Garth Klippert broke his left index finger and was forced to give up playing guitar for two months. Luckily, he was able to translate his parts over to keyboard, and at this point it’s unclear if he’ll ever go back. Running a 1983 Yamaha CP-30 through his arsenal of fuzz and echo pedals, Klippert has sculpted a sound ranging from an avalanche of sludge to delicate, warped twinkling over the top, and everything in between. “Everybody knows what a guitar sounds like,” he explains, “and this approach just takes the best parts of that and expands them." |
