Amicability by A Light Sleeper

$0.00
sold out

What do you do when you want to shout, but all you can do is whisper?

Not so much defying genre as politely brushing it aside, Amicability captures a band growing into its identity while simultaneously attempting to challenge that very identity. Despite the sometimes tight confines, ideas are allowed plenty of breathing room—they ebb and they flow, as ominous crescendos placidly give way to lilting, waltz-like cadences. Long and strange conversations to melt your face slowly.

CD in numbered, handmade packaging • 2009

A Light Sleeper initially emerged in the summer of 2005 as a duo of guitarist D. Pennepalli and drummer Matthew Jung, exploring minimalism while also experimenting heavily with live-looping and improvisation. In 2007, alto saxophonist Maria Elena Hernandez joined, providing a new focus to the compositions still taking shape as well as bringing a distinctly more classical tone to the proceedings—a tone further bolstered by the addition of cellist David Keller and violist Traci Newhouse in 2011. Today, the quintet continues to explore different concepts and approaches, combining myriad elements and styles to not so much defy genre as politely brush it aside. Recommended if you like: symmetry, mass, specters, or any combination thereof
