Artist Biography For Empty Space Orchestra

Empty Space Orchestra Certainly Knows How To Fill A Room. Bend OR Quintet Of Impeccable Musicians Crafts A Symphonic Melodic Sound That Seamlessly Weaves Together Elements Of Space Rock Prog-Metal Noir Jazz Post-Rock And Afro-Punk All In One Massive Blast Of Energy. Their 9-Song 50-Minute Self-Titled Debut Album Empty Space Orchestra Is A Hook-Laden Marriage Of Heft And Harmony That Veers Far Away From The Navel-Gazing Jamming Often Associated With Music Of Such Explorative Origins. Elements Of The Mars Volta's Most Frenetic Moments Merge With Soaring Post-Rock Of Russian Circles As Well As Hints Of Deftones Dub Trio And Lilting Chamber Pop All Colliding In Brilliant Synergy From One Song To The Next. The Group Of Classically-Trained Musicians Is Anchored By The Stunning Power And Precision Of Drummer Lindsey Elias -- Clearly A Musician Soon To Hold Rank Amongst Her Most Celebrated Male Counterparts. Guitarist Shane Thomas And Bassist Patrick Pearsall Provide A Balance Of Head-Bobbing Riffs Interspersed With Tasteful And Inventive Lines That Weave Like Musical Narrative Throughout. Meanwhile Multi-Instrumentalists Keith O'Dell Keyboards Piano And Graham Jacobs Saxophone Flute Synths Add Myriad Melodic Layers And Cinematic Moods That Often Deftly Counterbalance Heavy Riffs With Glissando Piano Melodies And Swaggering Horns. The Disc Was Recorded At The Popular The Hanger Studios In Sacramento CA With Engineer Robert Cheek RX Bandits Deftones Tera Melos And Mixed By Matt Bayles Mastodon Pearl Jam ISIS At Red Room Studios In Seattle WA. Since The Band's Inception In Late 2007 ESO Has Built A Devoted And Rapidly Growing Fan Base In The Northwest Exclusively On The Weight Of Their Highly Memorable Live Performances. While The Album Perfectly Showcases The Band's Musical Precision It Must Be Noted That ESO Is An Extremely Loud Band -- Quite Possibly The Loudest Band You Will Ever See With A Saxophone On Stage. "I Was Spending A Lot Of Time Thinking About What Miles Davis Used To Say ‘It’s Not About The Space You Play But The Space You Leave '" Explains Thomas. "That’s Where The ‘Empty Space’ Came From… Ironically We Don’t Leave Much Space In Our Music." Nonetheless The Sum Of Empty Space Orchestra's Myriad Parts Never Seem Bloated Overblown Or Obtrusive. Empty Space Orchestra's Self-Titled Debut Is Available Everywhere On CD/Digital As Of May 10th 2011.
