TINY HAIRS - SUBTLE INVISIBLE BODIES (CD by False Walls)

...Tiny Hairs are also from Chicago and are a sextet. The instruments include guitars, double bass, shortwave, signal processing, turntable, drums and violin. All of their pieces are from improvisations (six times studio, one time live) from 2001 and this CD is their debut. Their sound is quite full, as you can imagine with such a line up. This isn't unfortunally very helpful with the results. It's quite full material, but with much clarity as to what is what. Also the tunes are rather simple, but in general don't quite stick in the mind. It's a bit of everything (post rock, modern classic, electronics) but it never gets a face of its own. Pleasent music this is, that goes by without too much noting. Once it's over, you couldn't humm a tune. But as said, it's nice music to pass your time with.
