MiLKBabY no more! The all grown up tribal/ambient/space/punk, Barry Bennett, makes it a go on his own with a haunting new album, “Death to Death! And Other Tales of Uneasy Harmony…”News Wed, Oct 13, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MiLKBabY no more! The all grown up tribal/ambient/space/punk, Barry Bennett, makes it a go on his own with a haunting new album, “Death to Death! And Other Tales of Uneasy Harmony…” What is a tribal/ambient/space/punk? Bennett would be the one to ask. He was leader of the iconic group, MiLkBabY, through 10 years and 5 albums and whose brand of alien world music made them a fixture of Chicago’s left of center music scene. Bennett also creates scores in the world of Theatre and dance. His music has been heard with groups including; The Goodman, 16th Street Theater, CBDC, Chicago Moving Company, Chicago Dramatists, as well as his own improvisational performance group – The Impending Behavior Orchestra. Through it all, his music has been strange, exciting, fierce, and hypnotizing; hallmarked, as the Chicago Reader put it, with “ Fiendish percussion chops and otherworldly vocalese.” Why a solo album, now? This sends Bennett rolling a bit when asked directly. “ I struggled with that actually, when I first realized I was making an album and not creating random pieces of music.” “Death to Death! And Other Tales of Uneasy Harmony…” is about putting away those ideals that hold you back. It is about rebirth and accepting the inevitable. It is a river that ends at the beginning. It is hand made. It is a love letter to the album form. It seems to want to be magic. Make this record part of your aural life and decide for yourself. “Death to Death! And Other Tales of Uneasy Harmony…” will be released: 11/16/2010 on UVULITTLE RECORDS. |
