FRAGILE
HEARTS.....FRAGILE MINDS
Electric
Bird Noise started in 1997 as Brian McKenzie’s experiment with loops
& effect pedals. Electric Bird Noise has become more refined over ten
years of live shows & three albums (Unleashing the Inner Robot (1998),
The Pace (2001), & fragile hearts… fragile minds (2007)) & become
guitar & drum machine driven music. The guitar work is often multi-layered
& incredibly dense, but not afraid to simultaneously go the minimal route
of single notes. While it is music difficult to pigeonhole, the term “cinematic
instrumental guitar music” is one that McKenzie has embraced. The music
is not exclusively post rock, darkwave, shoegazer, or space rock; but involves
elements of all four. Perhaps part of not being so simply defined is the geographic
isolation of the deep south from any experimental or art rock scene; allowing
the music to be more focused on personal expression than emulating anyone
else’s sound. That said, clear nods are made within the music to Kraftwerk,
the Cure, Depeche Mode, & Brian Eno. Recorded at his own studio, McKenzie
showcases different elements of his music on fragile hearts...fragile minds.
“Vestibule Transitoire” showcases a single guitar with loop &
reverb in a twenty-six minute long ambient piece built for late night car
rides. “We Share More Than My Father’s Last Name” is the
first EBN song with vocals (sampled) from Michael Wood of Something About
Vampires And Sluts) & probably as close to a proper single as EBN will
ever come. “Fall of The World Trade Center” on the other hand
is minimalist piano & electronics with no guitar at all. Electric Bird
Noise has played with bands like , Attrition, Aarktica, System of a Down,
Fear Factory, Hed Pe, Clang Quartet, Remora, Plumerai, & Bardo Pond giving
crowds walls of light & smoke while delivering a larger than life sound
from one guitar.
