FRIDAY OCTOBER 29th, 2004
LOGAN SQUARE AUDITORIUM
9PM
COME DRINK WITH HAJI AND MARSH!!!
MOUSE ON MARS
Mouse on Mars play electronic music of a caliber likened to performers Bjork, Air, and Röyksopp. Their sound changes dramatically and paradoxically incrementally from album to album, displaying their attention to detail and obsession with creation. By establishing the idea that post-rave techno has now been around long enough to develop its own sense of self-awareness and ironic detachment, as well as presenting a handful of their strongest songs to date, Mouse on Mars have truly become a part of the international electronic aristocracy.
RATATAT
Ratatat is a collaboration between lead guitarist Mike Stroud and bedroom producer Evan Mast, with piercing sheets of guitar and synthesizer yoked to a bass-heavy metronomic grid. The pair establishes a plush, crisp sonic space somewhere near the crossroads of rock, electronic and hip-hop. The duo's sound tends towards harmonic saturation, folding over you with great swaths of guitar and synthesizer. Unsurprisingly, the effect is intensely pleasurable, giving the songs a warm and almost amniotic sense of immediacy.
THE JUNIOR BOYS
The Junior Boys defy any easy equation of pop or dance, joining a long tradition of sonically rich pop that unites emotionally charged songcraft with experimental genres. They break new ground for electro-pop, blending heart felt vocals with a production style that owes a debt to artists as varied as Timbaland, Todd Edwards, Four Tet, and Fennesz. The boys present a dreamy suite of bruise-tender electro and quicksilver soul.
