The Early Record Release show with Anne Ishii/Clint Takeda duo & M.E.

The Early:

Record release show for "Impatient" out now with Ruination Record Co.

Formed in North Jersey in 2004, The Early spans two decades, two coastlines, and an evolving lineup of multi- instrumentalists, metabolizing the textural grandeur of post-rock, the communicational intimacy of jazz improvisation, and the patient grooves of minimalism. The Early is currently Alex Lewis (guitars, synthesizers) and Jake Nussbaum (drums, electronics)

From Anne Ishii's "Impatient" liner notes: "The loop and the ostinato are the concentric circles in which a Sycamore tree will identify its age, its past, its future. So The Early is in fact exactly that, as much as it might be unprepared and not ready for the unpredictable, it is still here for when it is provoked to the occasion of a sound. Their destiny is in the lullaby not the slumber, in the entanglement, not the contact, in the memory not the death. From the primordial universe of Map Turtle, you can hear the duo finding corners inside of a heart beat, multiplying and dividing it over different eras."
