VOICEsVOICEs - Origins

The sophomore release from Los Angeles duo, VOICEsVOICEs is a six track concept record titled, Origins. Recorded in New York city by Guillermo Scott Herren aka Prefuse 73, over a span of one week during the early summer of 2009, Herren melds the guitar drone, percussive beats, vocal loopings of Nico Turner and Jenean Farris to a whole new level. They have toured the USA with Brightblack Morning Light, Corridor and Rio En Medio and will head out again with Prefuse 73 and Gaslamp Killer for a tour of the USA, UK and Europe in early 2010. VOICEsVOICEs create a sempiternal space filled with sounds and imagery that defy what they've been taught, and challenge what you know. A captivating experiment where two drummers, knowing nothing of the machines and instruments they chose to adopt, construct such hauntingly beautiful music, they awaken even your most subconscious dreams and aversions. A sort of existential realization can occur when these two lovely girls envelope you in their rapturous style of melodic, and at times, rough soundscapes. "Flulyk Visions", with it's droning atmospherics and vocals looped and inverted almost beyond recognition. Pitchfork / The fact that they only started playing with their (borrowed) guitars and effects boxes just over a year ago makes the band even more of a fabled Echo Park music myth, seemingly ingesting every instrument they lay their hands on, spewing out staggeringly beautiful walls of noise with a thunderous, raw drum set.
