Upcoming The Soul of the Rainbow: Growing @ Chop Suey Nov. 15

Posted by on Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 6:40 PM

We didn’t write about New York duo (their MySpace now lists them as a trio) Growing, who are opening for Fuck Buttons Sunday at Chop Suey, but I highly recommend you don’t miss them (they were supposed to open for Gang Gang Dance when that group played Triple Door earlier this year, but canceled). Here’s a passage from a review I wrote last year in The Stranger about Growing’s last album, All the Way :

For much of this decade, Brooklyn-via-Olympia duo Kevin Doria (guitar, bass) and Joe Denardo (guitar) have vibrated our increasingly toxic atmosphere with their string-driven drone dirigibles, creating an oeuvre of both academic rigor and palliative rock power. Their music is vast and evokes nature (mostly air and water), but not in a platitudinous or corny way. Rather, Growing seem to channel these elements and then subtly manipulate them, forming stimulating sound waves on which lofty thoughts can surf.

See you at the show.
