Liturgy drop round to Levee Club tonight to amaze and stun the uninitiated. It’s gonna be awesome and we shouldn’t miss this show but I will so I command you all to attend.
Thrill Jockey helped me out with writing this one, such nice people:
Brooklyn based Liturgy is Hunter Hunt Hendrix, Greg Fox, Tyler Dusenbury, and Bernard Gann. Aesthethica, their second album and third release, shows the band exploring, in greater depth, themes initially touched on by their critically acclaimed debut album, Renihilation. The band used every instrument, literal or figurative, to produce meaning and intensity, disregarding the genre boundaries of black metal, hardcore and experimental music.
Highly technical musicianship, poetico-mystical gesturing, and a minimal directness; all singular elements, whose interactions and reactions are contained in and bursting from a black metal framework. Revelatory contrasts presented in an intensely physical performance whose energy is palpable and whose abatement is as illuminating as its arrival.
Support is from Mi Ami who are labelmates at Thrill Jockey, check them out here, it’s bouncy, ambient, lush soundscapes all the way…think you’re favourite minimal techno crossed with some of your favourite Warp bands.
