After keeping the party exclusive as half of I Heart Lung , one couldn't help but get the feeling that guitarist Chris Schlarb, shrouded in the duo's envelope of drone, was plotting something. Something, big. Welcome to big. On November 23rd, Asthmatic Kitty will digitally release Psychic Temple , a four-composition, 29 musician undertaking over one thousand hours in the making. A far cry from the "hey let's make a record" M.O. of I Heart Lung, Psychic Temple is the sound of [...]

I Heart Lung Interoceans (09.2008, Asthmatic Kitty) Verdict = I heart Interoceans I discovered I Heart Lung after hearing guitarist Chris Schlarb's amazing solo debut, Twilight & Ghost Stories . The beauty of that release promised that anything Schlarb was involved with would definitely be a noteworthy endeavor. Interoceans proves that assumption correct. I Heart Lung is an improvisational duo consisting of Schlarb and drummer Tom Steck. Together as team I Heart Lung, the two create expansive, textured, improv based compositions that are a little bit jazzy [...]
De lokale omroep Radio Gasterlan is bezig met een zeer bijzondere, danwel bizare recorpoging. De omroep waarvoor wil maarliefst 168 uur achtereen uitzenden (te beluisteren via de stream ), niks nieuws onder de zon natuurlijk, maar de muziek is wel bijzonder, er zullen namelijk louter uitvoeringen van de kerst traditional Stille Nacht uitgevoerd worden! Naast bekende Nederlanders en prominente Friezen zal ook ik twee uurtjes vullen (donderdag a.s. 18 december tussen 14.00 en 16.00 uur). Natuurlijk is het wel de bedoeling mijn eigen draai hieraan te geven en wel middels een [...]
If anything is becoming more prevalent in independent music, it's duo power. These days, there doesn't seem to be a genre, sound, or technical ability duos can't tackle. Take that, bands with three or more members! The duo in question today is I Heart Lung. In their music, you'll find a slew of stylistic ideas buffet-picked from the worlds of jazz, drone, and world music. Interoceans , the band's new LP, is held together by not just strong playing, but a deep affection for sound, too. There's no wankery here. For info and [...]
