简介
Sequence of Prophets, the third full-length album from Niagara Falls, finds the band once again radically altering their instrumentation and composition methods. Upon the exit of Erich Breimhurst and Jeff Carpineta, Sam Cusumano and Noah Levey joined Norman Fetter in the latest incarnation of the group. The trio of Norman Fetter (ex-Golden Ball) (percussion, keyboards, and guitar) Noah Levey (keyboards and guitar) and Sam Cusumano (synthesizers and electronics) self-recorded the album in Spring of 2008 at the band’s own Honeymoon Compound in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia, which has also been home to Espers, Golden Ball, Ex Reverie, Fursaxa, Sharron Kraus, Heather Leigh Murray and Christina Carter. On the opening track, Flatlands, the band employs a cacophony of insect nosies, long sustained keyboard drones, and tribal drumming, as well as Sam Cusumano’s hand-made acousto-electric devices and circuit-bent keyboards, to create a symphony of fluctuating electronic weather patterns. Sequence of Prophets is an illustratration of the band’s journey from free-form improvisation towards a more solid sonic anatomy. Calling to mind the early experimental albums of Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh, Niagara Falls has created a new synthesis of ambient new age experimentalism and neo noise. Mixed by Niagara Falls and Mastered with Paul Gold at Salt Mastering in Brooklyn, NY. Limited edition vinyl available through Honeymoon Music, with free digital downloads courtesy of Apollo Audio.
