Band of Susans
Robert Poss and Susan Stenger's three-guitar NYC project. Built around drone, overtone ringing, minimalist composition applied to rock structures. More academically rigorous than most noise rock but just as loud. Five albums of patient, architectural distortion on Blast First and Restless. Bridges the downtown classical scene and the East Village noise rock underground in a way almost nobody else tried.
