Critic's Choice: Tiny Hairs
Tiny Hairs' new album Coldless, is a work of desolate beauty: violinist Peter Rosenbloom and guitarists Mark Booth and Jonathan Liss are wonderful at shaping their parts around one another's, sometimes in interlocking patterns, sometimes in three-way solo explorations, but always with satisfying musicality; drummer Jim Lutes, upright bassist John DeVylder, and electronics guy Charles King alternately gird their elliptical patterns in loose-limbed grooves and strident noise. "Stalk of an Eye", with its Morricone-esque twang, suggests a Tortoise piece condensed to the succinctness of haiku.
