New Music Qurious takes on Erik Satie with 'Rubies'

The shift that happens midway is an intriguing break that brings the group back into form, somewhat, and the underlying theme that ties it all together is the use of blank space — yet another nod to Satie’s minimal approach. Go back and give a listen to anything the group has done in the past, and there’s pronounced dose of reverb and delay strung throughout and layered on in varying degrees. It’s gone here, and in its absence the spaces between chord shifts, notes, melodies, et al. both highlight the myriad textures and effects that are at work here, without drawing too much attention to them, or relying on them to carry the mood.
A Void Vanishing record release party is happening at the Drunken Unicorn on Wed., Nov. 21. Feast Of Violet and Easily Suede open the show.
