Search - Strings of Consciousness :: Our Moon Is Full

"French collective Strings of Consciousness dovetails acoustic and electronic textures ascending into ensemble interplay reminiscent of the Boxhead Ensemble." -- The Wire The debut album from Strings of Consciousness, an ensemble made up of nine members hailing from Marseille via London, Paris, and Chicago. Using a manifesto of uniting acoustic instrumentation and human sensibility with digital technology, the group was able to draft many talented musicians from across the globe via the internet. Narration is key to Our Moon is Full, which features outstanding vocal contributions from honorary ensemble members J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus, Steroid Maximus), Barry Adamson, Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Scott McCloud (Girls Against Boys), Pete Simonelli (Enablers), Black Sifichi, and Lisa Smith-Klossner. A collection of several twists and turns, the album immediately sets a sunlit scene of abstraction before taking the listener on an aural and visual adventure through (occasionally twisted) soul-bearing confession, pent-up rock, and raw emotion.
