WIVE Pvll [CD]

The music of WIVE pulls from and fuses together a broad range of musical elements, including classical composition, electronic/glitch, melodic pop nostalgia and minimalist sensibilities. Quickly swinging from piano-lead waltzes to massive synth washes to straight-ahead melodic hooks, WIVE creates an aesthetic that is both somber and hopeful. The recording of Pvll took place in various living rooms, basements, garages and closets in several locations as time, space, and temperature would allow. Utilizing the internet to bridge the gap between the members spread throughout Minnesota, the compositions were relayed back and forth to be honed, refined, dismissed or created, and then polished in a live room. Features drummer/programmer Matt Irwin and violinist Hannah Murray of labelmates A WHIPSER IN THE NOISE. European import digipak. [Exile On Mainstream]
