Search - Alan Licht & Aki Onda :: Everydays

"Equal parts rock & roll spirit and serious minimalism." -- All Music Guide Debut collaboration of New York artists Alan Licht and Aki Onda, whose combined history connects artists straddling the pop and experimental worlds including Fennesz, Loren Connors, Takemura Nobukazu, and Lee Ranaldo. Everydays features five grandly formed soundscapes that mix Onda's cassette memories and the rhythmic/lyrical pull of Licht's guitar with poetic and complex textures. Morphing from recognizable structures to dissonant hammered chunks and rapid cut-ups, the album perfectly weaves their signature applications of sound diaries, minimalism, grainy fidelity, looping, and free blues into a dynamic and ambitious statement.
