String Noise is a pair of married humans deftly
shredding away on their violins, but this ain’t no study music, hoo-dawgy! At
times atonally Avante-Garde, while others sounding perfectly in place as a
backing band taking a solo-jam for the Violent Femmes (see the handful of
homage’s throughout the album), this duo is a great reminder that you don’t
need a ton of band members or effects pedals to explore every nook & cranny
of a soundwave.
My personal favorite is the phasing of VF’s “Blister
In the Sun” opening melody (Here titled “Violent Phase” – track 5) until it
warps into a sparkling sea and sum of all its parts. Check it out via the
bandcamp link below.
