Accessory -from Chicago, IL -Accessory is the solo moniker of Jason Balla, a fixture of the Chicago music scene for over a decade. In between the busy schedule of his main project Dehd, Balla devotes himself to self-recorded experiments that land somewhere between Women, Broadcast and John Cale. Following the cassette release Blue Tape (2018) came a string of singles– “Eyes for Berlin” (2020), “Together” (2020), a collaboration with Bnny, and in 2023, “Wherever You Are Tonight.” On Wherever Balla threads the needle between bedroom pop intimacy and noise-fueled anthem. The same pop sensibility you’d expect from Dehd is present, only it’s more damaged. “There’s a freedom I get from writing only for myself,” says Balla, “I can be beautiful. I can be ugly. I can be anything.” The outfit assembled to realize his music on the stage is a who’s who of the Chicago underground including members of Deeper, ULNA, Desert Liminal and Eli Schmitt of New Now. As an 8 person ensemble the group weave concise pop songs into more explorative interludes that range from walls of sound to a whisper. Over the pummeling beat of multiple drummers, the band fills the air with dusty tones and feedback as Balla croons of lonely worlds and missed opportunities. TBA - - |
