Sirens of the Apocalypse (CD)
Martin Bisi, performer/songwriter and prominent indie fringe record producer, returns to the realm of his personal recordings with Sirens Of The Apocalypse - 12 songs that emanated from his legendary recording lair in Brooklyn over the last seven years. Bisi has been at the forefront of studio recording since 1981, with a long discography that includes Sonic Youth, Herbie Hancock (Rockit), Africa Bambaata, Swans, Dresden Dolls, John Zorn, Helmet, and White Zombie, as well as important World music recordings. On Sirens Of The Apocalypse, his 4th full-length solo rendering since '89, he expands four piece rock into a mutant, experimental-pop concoction. The record is a personal document of Martin Bisi's life, times and on-going creative process: backup vocals whispered into 8 track recorders in the corners of airport terminals; guitar overdubs in crowded college youth hostels; lyrics written during breaks in other artists' sessions; and a spoken story of a crazy late-night encounter in a Brooklyn bar.
