Lowlight Situations - "Office Romance" CS
>> Saturday, February 18, 2012
This NNF release might be a little underappreciated. I like jazz when it's very syrupy.
This full length is 1/100.
From Decrepit Tapes' blog:
"Misery may love company but the reverse is true as well. And few 
improv-y crews are as adept at coaxing delicious smoky noir heartbreak 
as City Terrace quartet Low Light Situations. It only takes a couple 
turtlenecks, two beards, three folding chairs, one clarinet, and a 
single sizzle-chain for these itinerant east LA session players to 
slow-roast a set’s worth of mesmerizing instrumental reverb chamber 
mystery-jazz. Whispery percussion, piano bar bass noodles, echo-twang 
guitar spiderwebs, and twilit ivory tickling slow-dance and romance in a
 tall-ceilinged hall of mirrors, occasionally spilling over into 
passages of dissonant drama or hushed emptiness. A great sustained mood 
melodrama parsed into six subtle micro-movements."
