Ian Davis writes/performs regularly with a few different musical outlets; Relatives, Ian Davis: Rock Band, and Mushfoot. This iteration, billed as “Ian Davis”, stems from a collection of songs that were released on two solo EP’s, Dull Care (2020) and Night Thought (2022), made in collaboration with Adam Brisbin as producer/engineer. He’ll be joined by Erin McGrath on bass and Adam Brisbin on guitar and perhaps the 0 Star himself, Mr. Mikey Buishas, on drums
0 starsis a giant melting smiling snowman on the hill. Memory/loss, kindergartener art, crinkling/tiptoeing/wiggling, and guitar solos that last less than 10 seconds is the vibe. Key pals for life in this enterprise are Mikey Buishas, Adam Brisbin, Erin McGrath, and Stephen Becker.
Deer Scout’s Dena Miller recorded their earliest songs on a toy cassette player, and spent their teen years at DIY shows in New York and Philly. Their first EP, Customs (2016) and 2017 single “Sad Boy” introduced Miller’s studied sparseness and pointed songcraft. Woodpecker (2022), the project’s debut full length, brought together trusted friends and collaborators Ko Takasugi-Czernowin (bass), Zuzia Weyman (cello), Henry Munson (pedal steel), and Max Rafter (drums). With primary engineering and mixing from Heather Jones at Philly’s So Big Auditory, Woodpecker was eventually completed at home by Miller, whose piecemeal approach results in the record’s lush intentionality.
