IMP(s)
Label: Mob Throb
If your ears need a good
stretching then consider
submitting them to the tender
mercies of IMP(s), a Victoria
quintet of multi-instrumentalists
who make intuitive, worldbeatinfluenced
music that is the
jumping off point for sound
poetry, primal sonic experimentalism,
visual theatre, throat
chants, and subtle electronic
effects. Not that you can really
describe these guys, but imagine
Tuvan hippies making 23rd
century music and you might get
close. These fearless musical
pioneers include Sharka
Zdeninsyn, Franaine Buchal,
Aaron Watson, Speedy Pete and
Christopher Simon.
“A giddy celebration . . . a
sustained and otherworldly wash
of shifting tonalities.” –Georgia
