Stick Men Are Open
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., May 17, 2012
Currently on tour in South America, Stick Men are about to release a new album. Open will be released June 1st.
Featuring You can hear previews of the record and indeed pre-order it here.
Writing about the background to the album, Markus Reuter notes "Stick Men announce the release of their new CD, titled OPEN. The recording is a departure from the previous two from the band (Soup and Absalom) - it is all improvised, though based on prepared textures by the band before recording.
Between their touring segments, Stick Men have long been working on a
major release box set, to be titled DEEP, with release scheduled for Fall 2012. The OPEN project has given the band a musical breath of fresh air, as well as allowing them more time to fine tune that later release.
In the music from OPEN, the unique flavor of the band comes through as strong as ever, with it’s unique instrumentation; Tony Levin playing the Chapman Stick, Markus Reuter playing his self designed Touch Guitar, and Pat Mastelotto playing an assemblage of percussive devices executed on laptop, ipad & iphone.
The music can be described as both ambient and powerful."
The album is also available from Tony Levin's website.
Don’t forget the UK will have a very rare opportunity to see Stick Men play a series of gigs in June playing double-header gigs with Gavin Harrison and 05Ric. The dates are:
June 3rd Manchester Manchester Academy 3
June 4th Birmingham O2 Academy2 Birmingham
June 5th Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach
June 6th Bristol O2 Academy2 Bristol
June 7th London O2 Academy Islington
