CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Between The Needles & Nightfall was conceived at Trout Recording in Brooklyn, NY where engineer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Akron/Family) tracked Marco Benevento and his trio over three days. To achieve the colors he envisioned, Benevento recorded on a baby grand piano bolstered by guitar pick-ups, amplifiers and a myriad of pedals and circuit bent toys, while overdubbing Moog, Optigan, Mellotron and Farfisa. He then transferred the tracks to his home studio, taking the next two months to cut, loop and shape the pieces into full-fledged songs. For the final mixes, Benevento handed off his work to three of his favorite engineers: Mell Dettmer (Sunn O))), Eyvind Kang), Jesse Lauter (Low Anthem, Elvis Perkins) and Vid Cousins (Amon Tobin, Kid Koala). The results range from the day-glo electro-rock of It Came From You to the simply-stated lullaby Ila Frost to the shimmering Arcade Fire-meets-Brad Mehldau anthem Two Of You. With the release of Between The Needles & Nightfall, Marco Benevento continues to define himself as one of the most prolific new voices of his era, blurring genres from song to song, and more often from measure to measure, with his own take on simple pop pleasures, dance party rave-ups and art jazz experimentation.

CD ReviewsGreat new album from Marco Sam P. Robertson | 05/22/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Over the past few years, Marco Benevento has created some of the most interesting music out there with the Benevento/Russo duo, Garage A Trois, and his own trio. With his new album, Between the Needles & Nightfall, Benevento continues to create music that is exploratory and refreshing. More than anything, the album represents a further refining and expanding of the sound that he began to explore on his first album with this trio, Invisible Baby. For those who feel the need to categorize music, I suppose it would fall under experimental jazz, but that label is unfair to Marco. Although the music is instrumental and adventures, these are structured songs. Benevento combines incredible improvisational skills with a Paul McCartney-like sense of melody, creating a sound that is melodic, but also experimental, modern-sounding, and completely unique.
On Between Needles and Nightfall, Benevento is joined by his usual trio, which features Reed Mathis on bass and Andrew Barr on drums. This is the trio's third album together, and the band members have developed a strong chemistry. As a result the music sounds extraordinarily cohesive and flowing, with each track even seeming to segue flawlessly into the next. The songs are atmospheric and unusual, yet catchy, and Between Needles and Nighfall is one of the most listenable instrumental albums that I have ever heard. Greenpoint, Between the Needles, and Two Of You are my personal favorites." |
