Old Time Relijun - Catharisis In Crisis

OLD TIME RELIJUN continues to break the confinement of rock-cliché with its newest release, "Catharsis in Crisis". Song after song, the ferocity of lead singer Arrington De Dionyso draws listeners deeper into a world where language, rhythm and unrepentant libido collide. This music is temperamental, unwieldy and unyielding; and it cuts you to the bone. "Catharsis in Crisis" was written and recorded at Calvin Johnson's fabled Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington in four inspired days and nights. The bent grooves furiously enveiled here aer more revealing than any earthquake or manifesto. Legendary producer Steve Fisk was recruited to mix this raw material into OTR's most fully realized album to date.  OTR + Calvin Johnson + Steve Fisk = a magical alchemy of sound and light. But don't worry kids, it's still terrible background music. "A Revelatory and persuasive writer, visual artist and ecstatic musician, Olympia resident Arrington de Dionyso created Old Time Relijun a decade ago as a vehicle for his inspred and brilliant output. Self-taught on guitar, bass clarinte and saxophone, he creates abusively surprising sounds typically reserved for the confines of free-jazz experimentation and applies them to digestible bluesy rock backbone."
