Seaven Teares + Build

eaven Teares is a new band led by New York vocalist/composer Charlie Looker, primarily known as the frontman of avant rock band Extra Life, co-founder of classic Brooklyn noise ensemble Zs and composer of various chamber music. Named after the lute piece by 17th Century English composer John Dowland, Seaven Teares draws most of its influence from ancient European music, post-industrial folk and simple pop.

Build is a Brooklyn-based indie-classical band led by composer/violinist Matt McBane. Described by Steve Smith in Time Out New York as "a new quintet that straddles the increasingly permeable line between chamber music and instrumental rock", Build has developed a body of work and a performance style that freely and intuitively draws on chamber music, art rock, minimalism, electronic music, modal jazz, American fiddle music, and experimentalism (to name a few).
