WREKMEISTER HARMONIES Streaming New Track “Some Were Saved Some Drowned”; November 2016 Shows Announced
Wrekmeister Harmonies are streaming the first single, “Some Were Saved Some Drowned”, from their forthcoming album Light Falls, due out August 16th.
As they prepare for the release of their new 7-song magnum opus – Light Falls, due out August 16th from Thrill Jockey – the incredibly prolific Wrekmeister Harmonies have premiered the album’s first single. Listen to “Some Were Saved Some Drowned” here.
Light Falls is the group’s fifth release and follows 2015’s critically-acclaimed Night Of Your Ascension LP (Thrill Jockey) which featured no less than 30 musicians in the musical collective. On Light Falls, Wrekmeister Harmonies’ visionary JR Robinson felt it was time to seek out new creative strategies, focusing his energies on a smaller collective; this new album features Wrekmeister Harmonies’ core members JR Robinson (vocals, guitar) and Esther Shaw (keyboards, piano, violin, vocals) joined by by Godspeed You! Black Emperor musicians Thierry Amar on bass and contrabass; Sophie Trudeau on piano, violin and vocals; and Timothy Herzog on drums. Chicago musicians Ryley Walker and Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin Bajas) make guest appearances on the album as well. The resulting output with the new lineup continues to transcend classification and expand their sonic palette on what is Wrekmeister Harmonies’ most focused, compelling and powerful release to date.
