The Renderers

A Dream of the Sea: “Album 4 finds the band at the top of their game. The Crook’s lyrical vision is uncommonly dark, and their songs seethe with betrayal, heartbreak and horror.....but each tune enjoys an indelible hook and a memorably cathartic performance.” Bill Meyer, Chicago. Ghosts of Our Vegas Lives: “A charred near mythical psychedelic wasteland sparsely populated by tortured souls and twisted creatures. Brian Crook (her husband) is the perfect foil for such surrealism-meets-rustic imagery, whether lathering melting feedback ontop of ghostly ballads or kicking up a slash and burn racket, captured with garage rock immediacy. ....a world where Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt are revered as preciously as Sonic Youth, the Dead C and Can, to name but a few. A different kind of transcendance indeed. A worthy follow-up to one of the most revered and unheard noise/psych masterworks of the last decade, "Dream of the Sea" (Siltbreeze)Lee Jackson,Womblife. Performance review: “and suddenly out of the horrendous on-stage noise, Brian’s starting to look like he’s up for the guitarist least likely to have watched himself in the mirror while playing guitar award...” Mick Elborado, Rip it Up. The Renderers have been around since 1989 in one form or another 更多>>
