BIG 3 MUSIC: Prone Album Release

by

Sun 12/10 Bitchin Bajas (Chicago), Prone (album release), Erika Nesse, Boston Typewriter Orchestra (Record Release Show!) @Studio 550 9pm All Ages  $12 adv/$15 dos…*A Boston Hassle Joint Effort*

 

Time to let the needle drop on some new astral additions to the world of experimental sound. The hypnotic soundscapes of some of Boston’s most eclectic practitioners join with out of town friends from Chicago to envelop us all in a cozy sonic sweater nestled inside Cambridge’s Studio 550 (leave your shoes at the door ‘cuz we’re gettin’ comfy).

 

Bitchin Bajas craft their own galaxy out of tonal rhythms and swaying pulses pulling you deeper into a state of cathartic peace. Welcoming them to Boston with a new record of their own is Prone, whose haunting and atmospheric synths and seemingly atonal arrangements confuse and captivate. Also guiding us down our shamanic path to enlightenment is Erika Nesse, who crafts intricate yet delicate soundtracks for atoms—minimal bursts of subtle beats that seem to be in two places at once and send you down a whirling and endless spiral.

 

Thankfully, here to be our big bang and thrust our spirits full throttle into the very ether that makes up this celestial showcase is Boston Typewriter Orchestra, whose wholly original and mesmerizing methods of music manifestation make marching marauders of us all. Their new album keeps us grounded in the terrestrial sphere ahead of our communal trip to the stars. As if emanating from a bright center, this is music that carries you to another plane. Come towards the light.
