Search - Inc. Rope :: Songs of Love and War

This collection of eleven songs composed by Matt Menovcik (Saeta) and produced by Kramer are brutally quiet and perfectly presented--a deftly assembled marriage of seventies-era Eno and Beck at his very best. The ultra-eroticism of Menovcik's vocal performances form the bedrock of this collaboration, focused and drawn to a series of subtle points by Shimmy-Disc founder Kramer's production genius. Although remembrances of Neu and Joy Division will pepper the listener's experience upon first listen, the graphic sound-poems found on Rope, Inc.'s haunting debut full-length find a haunting originality in both voice and production. With Menovcik recording his electric piano, vocals, and loops in Seattle and Kramer adding arrangements, instrumentation, and some of his most stunning guitar work in Florida, Songs of Love & War will keep the listener's attention long past bedtime.
