Artist in Focus
- Benzos
|
|
Benzos is a New York based
Stinky Records’ genre-bending quartet. Their sophomore album Branches
which hit stores on August 7, 2007, seamlessly blends the ambience and
rhythm of early underground dance and experimental electronic music with
lush, rock-based guitars and soaring vocals.
|
Members:
-
Christian Celaya (guitar/synth/vocals)
-
Brian Joyce (guitar/vocals)
-
Eiko Peck (bass) and
-
Steve Bryant (drums/sampling).
Having undergone early changes
in personnel and instrumentation, Benzos have overcome these obstacles by
honing their creative vision to incorporate a heavily improvisational
element, which they refer to as “live remixing” and which has become
a hallmark of the band’s live shows. From the drum n’ bass overtones of
“Hurt Everybody” to the infectious melodies of “Phase 2” to the
dynamic vehemence of “Crooked Hands,” Branches engrosses you with
transcendent emotions and complex, highly danceable rhythms that leave you
wanting more.
