New Music Circle: Marcia Bassett & Samara Lubelski w/ Juan William Chávez
Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards, Zaïmph) and Samara Lubelski are two of America’s most audacious psychedelic drone proponents. Bassett’s guitar processing squashes otherwise raging howls into densely packed tones of feedback wail, and blends with Lubelski’s long electronically processed violin voyages form a wondrous combination, both soothing and eruptive.
Their collaboration has been ongoing since 2010, and their first collaborative album, Sunday Night, Sunday Afternoon, released in 2012 on Graham Lambkin’s label Kye, was followed by several other LPs since.
