***BACK IN STOCK!!! What began as a recording project between multi-instrumentalist BOB JONES and sound engineer JONATHAN SCHENKE led to an un/self-titled record in 2014. The album’s adventures in fractured electronic pop garnered attention in The New Yorker, Interview Magazine, and FADER, while Pitchfork described the “beautiful” textures as “grim and subdued but so rich you could raise tomatoes in them.” With the addition of kinetic light sculptures operated by visual artist CHRISTOPHER DUFFY, the recording project became a performing one. The group played Moogfest 2014, toured the US with Shabazz Palaces, and shared the stage with a diverse set of acts from Dan Deacon and !!!, to Parquet Courts and Protomartyr, to SURVIVE and US Girls. Their collaboration extended into the contemporary art world through performative sound sculptures and immersive installations of light and sound. The ‘Moment of Inertia’ EP (2015) and ‘Prisms’ soundtrack (2016) are comprised of compositions written for this context. Eaters (the new album, the band) carefully crafted over the course of two years at Doctor Wu’s in Brooklyn, NY marries rich pulsing electronics, driving beats, and guitar pyrotechnics. It is literal and figurative “art-rock” An exploration of light, shadow, expansion, and transformation. It speaks to the vulnerability and resilience of the human spirit in the modern age.
