grand ulena
neosho
fv23 cd ep

anyone who thought grand ulena's m.o. was a solid rush of melted melodies and discombobulated rhythms enforced with rapidity, needs to rethink with neosho. these three extended pieces show a different side of the band than is heard on gateway to dignity (fv18). a searing minimalism is at the core here a result of the spontaneity and immediacy of the session. ranging from the push/pull of vicious volume to near silences.

grand ulena
gateway to dignity
fv18 cd/lp

st. louis-based alien complexity rock group of ex-dazzling killmen/on fillmore bassist darin gray. rounded out by guitarist chris trull and drummer danny mcclain - grand ulena is a solidification of rock music, rhythm, jazz and it splintered offshoots. grand ulena is disjunct rhythms played at high velocity. disjunct beats played under broken and jagged melodies. repetition of the retarded. complex structures combined with complete and utter failure. failed soloing combined with rigid riffery. extended instrumental techniques forged into song.
