[photo from Wires Under Tension Facebook page] Wires Under Tension is one of those bands formed out of a happy accident. After he left his condemned Brooklyn practice space for a building in the Bronx, Christopher Tignor met and teamed with drummer Theo Metz to form the band. The 2011 release of Light Science ( Western Vinyl ) was one of those "out of nowhere" albums that took many critics by surprise . But really, WUT is a duo of incredibly talented individuals who produce compelling instrumental post-rock music, and its no [...]

Yesterday we got word of this new project called The Nighty Nite formed by John Congleton and Jason Garner of the Paper Chase along with members of Shearwater, Wires Under Tension, and The Hospital Ships. Coming from a short recording session, the new group produced four songs for an EP entitled Dimples due out June 21st via Graveface Records . You'll obviously hear the heavy influence of The Paper Chase in these tunes with that familiar indie horror music style that we've grown to love. Glad to hear these guys are continuing to create enjoyable tunes. [...]

Wires Under Tension για συντομία WUT είναι οι Christopher Tignor και Theo Metz από το Bronx. Σφριγηλό ροκ ντραμς κρατά τα μπόσικα για τους ελιγμούς ενός κλασσικού βιολιού πασπαλισμένο με σταγόνες αιθέριων πλήκτρων. Πλούσια ενορχήστρωση ενισχυμένη από samples και πνευστά δίνει στο instrumental σύνολο μια ατμόσφαιρα αλά Tortoise και μνήμες prog rock. Γνωστό αλλά και τόσο καινούργιο. wires under tension : electricity turns them on [...]

When reading a band's name for the first time, a certain image comes to mind. The individual words aren't seen as single entities but as a whole and the whole is meant to generate emotion and thought, whether negative or positive. For Wires Under Tension , their name implies precisely the texture of music to be expected: something kaleidoscopic and prophetic. The duo, consisting of violinist Christopher Tignor and drummer Theo Metz, has worked to produce a transcendental poly-layered experience with their debut album Light Science . Using the prefix "poly-" helps to imply that an [...]
