Chen Santa Maria

***The duo of GEORGE CHEN and STEVEN SANTA MARIA document another phase in their half-decade collaboration of improvised sonic experiments. This co-release with 333 (7" single series that has worked with Deerhoof, Girltalk, Crack: We Are Rock) captures the band playing with rhythmic elements recorded with BRIAN RESTER (BULBS, TRIANGLE) in pastoral Berkeley, CA. The pedals and effects used for this recording were stolen shortly afterward so this is the last of this type of sound, not by choice but necessity. Having toured Europe and UK in Spring 2010 (opening for Mount Eerie, High Places, Talk Normal, and Weasel Walter), CSM continues with its California campaign for the Governor's seat in tribute to the fallen Gary Coleman. Members of KIT, COMMON EIDER KING EIDER, SISSY SPACEK 15-TET, LOVE CHAINS and FUN SANTA MARIA. Edition of 250.
