Michael Krassner (Boxhead Ensemble, Califone, Simon Joyner) and John Dieterich (Deerhoof, Caustics, Gorge Trio) met for the first time back in 2018. Within hours of meeting, they played their first (and to date, only) duo concert at the Carriage House in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona (some recordings of which appear on this LP). They then proceeded to spend the next two days recording wide reaching ideas tucked away in Krassner’s studio, The 3-Track Shack. By the time John left, the beginnings of something gutturally beautiful took form. A patient and expansive electro-acoustic language had emerged.
When you journey to the cross section of dense maximalist ideals and patient minimalism, you’ll eventually arrive at BULLISH(ISH). An album that seamlessly blends neoclassical, ancient blues, and psychedelia.
