Two of the greatest bands of the present day, each composed of two guitarists and a drummer. Every member’s name carries its own legendary status. Richard Bishop. Ben Chasny. Chris Corsano. Michael Morley. Bruce Russell. Robbie Yeats. Fabricated empires have risen and been destroyed by the vast output of any one of these guys. Finally, they come together on one release: a split LP between two supergroups. The Dead C’s tracks are a gem of a find. The band uncovered recordings nestled in the back corner of their archives that they completely forgot existed. These tracks were under consideration for their seminal album Eusa Kills. The loose majesty found on that album comes to the fore here, with a group finding their wings right as they are set aflame. Rangda recorded their two compositions at Russian Recording in Bloomington, Indiana. Everything that brings these musicians together uncoils and commands. Beats of silence underscore tangents that lead back to main themes and out again. It’s as though the years and years of playing under their collective belts has culminated in these glorious moments.
D’un côté les Dead C (Michael Morley, Bruce Russell, Robbie Yeats) et de l’autre Rangda (avec les guitaristes Richard Bishop (SCG) et Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) + Chris Corsano à la batterie). Le groupe néo-zélandais a retrouvé une bande inédite de l’époque de Eusa Kills (1988-89), quatre titres plus ou moins mis de côté à l’époque avec un fort accent blues foutraque. Le trio nord-américain quant à lui s’enregistre en studio pour l’occasion (Russian Recording à Bloomington, Indiana) et nous livre deux titres entre ballade orientalisante et cascade free.
