Jason Urick - Husbands

· Those well-versed in the Baltimore or experimental electronic
music scenes might be familiar with Jason Urick’s band WZT
Hearts (Hoss Records, Car Park) or his solo works as
themoonstealingproject. There are similarities to his previous
projects of course. Those familiar with WZT Hearts will feel that
the tracks on ‘Husbands’ are in-line with the more ambient pieces
that the band produced. Ghosted, fragmented melodies, distorted
tones and so forth. Compared to themoonstealingproject,
‘Husbands’ has more depth sound-wise and the songs tend to take
the longer route with tracks averaging around the 10 minute mark
each. After spending four years in WZT Hearts where all the music
was improvised, it was a relaxing and refreshing change of pace to
take an idea, let it unfurl, and watch it burn slowly into extended
soundscapes. The result is an album that is a complex study
in subtlety and one that rewards patience.
· Apart from his work as a musician, Urick has been involved in
many areas of the Baltimore music scene for almost 10 years. His
efforts have helped contribute to the incredible music scene that
has been in the spotlight for the last couple of years and that same
life-giving energy can be felt in the pulse of ‘Husbands’, a piece
that brims with subtle complexities and slowly reveals
itself with every listen.
· ‘Husbands’ is limited to 500 copies worldwide. The LP comes in
a jacket silk-screened by Jason Urick. Also included is a
coupon for a digital download of the entire album.
