Event
White Hinterland
Wednesday 06.16.2010, Doors at 8:30 PM, Starts at 9:00 PM, $8, 18+
White Hinterland explores the edges of minimal pop, accomplishing a delicate but lively seduction through deep, patient bass throbs, prismatic synth textures, and direct, intimate songs sung with an empowered gravitas. After Casey Dienel and band-mate Shawn Creeden relocated to Portland, Oregon from Boston and Brooklyn, respectively they didn't have regular access to a piano, the centerpiece of previous White Hinterland recordings. Dienel's writing process took on an innovative new shape delving excitedly into a new practice of collaboration centered around live looping, electronic and acoustic percussion, and kaleidoscopic sound, all providing a shimmery underpinning to intricate layers of Dienel's voice recalling The Dirty Projectors, The xx, tune-yards, and The Neptunes with an Arthur Russell and Serge Gainsbourg cover thrown into the mix for good measure.
