- Description: Mark Molnar has been a linchpin of the Ottawa experimental music scene for over two decades,spanning contemporary classical, electroacoustic, industrial/noise, and improv. As a string playerin a wide range of projects, an organizer and curator of innumerable shows, and via his own avantgarde tag Black Bough Records, Molnar's unflagging contributions to independent music culturein Canada's capital city have been significant. EXO is his Constellation debut a remarkable andbracing suite of post-classical composition on which Molnar plays every instrument. Meticulouslyself-recorded, primarily with strings, harp, and piano, EXO balances thematic melodicism,polytonality, and dissonance across three elegiac pieces of exquisitely expressive dynamism. Thisis exacting modern chamber music that blends formal and harmonic complexity with a solemnemotive sensibility accessible to a broad audience. Listeners that yearn for some edge anddisquietude in a landscape of often all-too-approachable post-classical music should find EXOeminently worth their time and attention.While Molnar is a highly trained string player, and studied music under Aubrey Wolfe, microtonalitywith James Tenney, and composition with R.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
