Scree, Adeline Hotel, Alena Spanger 3/9
7:30 Doors $10.00 Suggested Donation
The members of Scree are like ripples in the water, mostly still with one motion setting off every other motion. It’s beautiful because like ripples, the sounds don’t care about being pretty or constructive, but they’re always true. Truly following their own consequences. A band can only do this if all the musicians are mostly still, mostly quiet, always listening, always with courage to follow the ripples where they lead.
Alena Spanger is a singer/pianist/songwriter from the balsam forests of Maine, now based in Brooklyn. Weaving together angular art-pop songcraft, unorthodox vocalizations, and intricate arrangements that turn from baroque complexity to visceral immediacy on a dime, Spanger’s songs construct their own elaborate and immersive worlds. With her previous band—Tiny Hazard, and in her new music, Spanger explores the less familiar nooks and crannies of timbre and of psyche. As Dusted Magazine noted, “Spanger sings to provoke, not to comfort.”
