WREKMEISTER HARMONIES – THE ALONE RUSH

Wrekmeister Harmonies’ new album, The Alone Rush, their first as the core duo of JR Robinson and Esther Shaw, is a hauntingly intense and dark meditation on death and isolation, whose concise compositions carry an emotional heft without the orchestrated bombast of their previous four albums. The album’s only guest appearances come from longtime friend and Swans drummer Thor Harris, and acclaimed producer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, John Zorn, Lydia Lunch).
