ANONYMOUS CHOIR W/LONESOME LEASH + DREAMLAND FACES
Anonymous Choir sings your favorite songs, featuring Nona of Dark Dark Dark!
Lonesome Leash is the solo moniker of New Orleans-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Walt McClements. Known for previous involvement in Dark Dark Dark, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship?, McClements, as Lonesome Leash, channels all of his musical experiences into a lean and gorgeously messy solo affair.
Anchored by the sinuous accordion sound that's become a McClements trademark, Lonesome Leash takes mad aesthetic stabs, incorporating drum loops, lush feedback and brass flourishes, in the end creating a sort of future-rustic musical environment. McClements explains: "I'd always been interested in affecting the accordion to make it sound more like a synthesizer, and more than a synthesizer, as well as including drum machines and electronics into what normally would or could be very traditional sounding textures."
Live, the project takes the form of a one man band, with McClements deftly navigating drums, accordion, trumpet and vocals. A spectacle in and of itself, the true achievement is how quickly one forgets the multi-tasking going on, as the arrangements, sounds and words quickly overshadow any thoughts that this may just be technical gimmickry.
Dreamland Faces is a musical project of Andy McCormick and Karen Majewicz.
They have composed scores for over fifty silent films and regularly play live shows
throughout Minnesota and the Midwest. Their repertoire includes modern classical
pieces, traditional waltzes and tangos, and original instrumental compositions.
Their unique sound is created with accordion, musical saw, pump organ,
piano, double bass, & vocals.
