TINY HAIRS - COLDLESS (CD by False Walls)
This is the third release of Tiny
Hairs, following their debut 'Subtle Invisible Bodies' (see Vital Weekly
314) and a split LP with Millionaires With Guitars (see Vital Weekly 381).
Tiny Hairs is a big band, including guitars, double bass, electronics,
drums and violin and together they improvise their pieces. Just as with
their debut CD, the eleven tunes here are quite nice, but also at the same
time not always inspiring. Nice stuff, but not always with great tension
among the players. At times just too easy, too mellow with not much
exciting going on. Tiny Hairs taps out of many sources, post rock,
improvisation and electronica (although this only brief), but do not match
the likes of Town & Country or Tortoise. Maybe it's about time they went
for some serious composing. The skills to play their instruments well are
there, so that shouldn't be the trouble.
