Initiate

Initiate is the fourth recording by The Nels Cline Singers and Cline's seventh release as a leader on Cryptogramophone. Initiate documents a remarkable three-day recording session at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley (on the first disc), and The Singers' first live concert recording at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco (on the second disc). With guests David Witham, Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto), Greg Saunier (Deerfhoof), Satomi Matsuzak, and John Dieterich. Displayed throughout the beautifully designed digipak packaging are six photographs of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland by photographer Simon Norfolk. A striking visual representation of the power of Initiate.
