On Fillmore brings a new world of sound to The Warhol Museum
On Friday, July 16, 2010, On Fillmore will bring their unique style of music to the Warhol Museum. I’m not exactly sure what to call it: extremely slow jazz, soundtrack music, haunting music. Since I’m hardly a writer, I won’t need to worry about inventing a term for what they do. But it would be wise for you to check it out.
The duo of percussionist Glenn Kotche (Wilco, Loose Fur) and bassist Darin Gray (Grand Ulena, Jim O’Rourke) have concocted an incredible sound world on their latest record, Extended Vacation, which is full of creeping vibraphone and bass lines, homemade percussion, and man-made bird calls. While on the record marching bands and dirty percussion blast against the somber vibe/bass lines, the duo will strip it down to pitched and unpitched percussion and upright bass. Pieces from all three of their records will be performed.
