REDFEARN, ALEC K. (AND THE EYESORES) The blind spot

Description

This marvelous large ensemble from Providence, Rhode Island has been in existence for a decade now. The Blind Spot is their 6th release and their second for Cuneiform and it's also surprisingly different from The Quiet Room. It includes a few shorter songs but the main focus of the album is a very ambitious work entitled 'I am the Resurrection and the Light', which is a song cycle for a large ensemble featuring a number of different players: appearing are accordion, violin, viola, French horn, guitar, alto sax, bassoon, contrabass, drums, 'loops, processing and other eletronic mayhem' and layers and layers of vocals from up to 4 vocalists (Alec and 3 female voices).
