FLOWER CORSANO DUO
Room 237 has the pleasure of bringing back some of the world's most innovative musicians and probably the BEST drummer in the world for the third time. This duo have been seen supporting Sonic Youth and playing some of the worlds most prestigious leftfield festivals. Chris Corsano is BJORK's resident drummer, plays with Jim O'Rourke, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Vampire Belt, Six Organs of Admittance, etc.).
Michael Flower (founding member of UK psych/drone legends Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sunburned Hand of the Man member) - Japan banjo (aka shahi baaja - an electrified + modified version of the Indian bulbul tarang)
Pitchfork - "Along the way they evoke Rudolph Grey's far-out travels with Rashied Ali, Keiji Haino's bursting solos in Fushitsusha, maybe even what Jimi Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell are playing in the after-life." - http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/111 ... ute-force/
*Mojo's Underground Album of the Week - http://cor-sano.com/flower/images/mojo.jpg
*Tiny Mix Tapes' year-end list of 24 "Eureka Albums of 2007" - "Chris Corsano and Mick Flower make fire. That no-need-for-an-introduction drummer and the founding member of UK’s Vibracathedral Orchestra inaugurated this year with an explosive three-song album." - http://www.tinymixtapes.com/2007-Eureka-Albums-of-2007
*Dusted - "The Radiant Mirror, the pair’s 2007 debut, is a blistering document, matching Corsano’s kitchen-sink percussion work with Flower’s electrifying Shahi Baaja (also known, in a bit of a misnomer, as an Indian banjo) in one of that year’s best records. The Four Aims finds the scope of the duo’s instrumentation widened, with more diverse results, but, at its core, this disc remains true to the pair’s original M.O., and with two musicians this gifted, it’s hard to imagine their collaborative work being anything less than outstanding." - http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4887
*Tiny Mix Tapes - "In compositional breadth, in technical twinkle, in (a)tonal assault, this is a deeply humbling record, the inscrutable blueprint for progress." - http://www.tinymixtapes.com/Flower-Corsano-Duo
*Foxy Digitalis - 9 out of 10 - http://www.digitalisindustries.com/foxy ... which=4195
