rope
heresy, and then nothing but tears
fv42 cd

rope formed in poland as a guitar/bass duo in 1998. since relocating to chicago in 2000 they have become one of the city's most flummoxing avant rock groups. heresy, and then nothing but tears is their second full-length album. robert iwanik (bass, vocals), przemyslaw krzysztof drazek (guitar) and michael j. kendrick (trap set, percussion, electronics) blend deconstructed strains of swans' emotional weight and last exit's fury with propelling grooves and krzysztof komeda's classical suspense into lush and often uncompromising no wave abrasion. rope's constantly evolving ocean of impossible rhythms, screaming guitar and iwanik's hissing voice adds up to an ultra-dynamic group force of cryptic awe. features guest vocals from grazyna auguscik and songwriting/vocal collaboration by oxbow's eugene robinson on four songs. cover art by famed polish fringe painter stanislaw ignacy "witkacy" witkiewicz.

rope
widow's first dawn
fv25 cd

rope -- robert iwanik (bass/vocals), przemyslaw chris drazek (guitar, 12-string acoustic guitar) and illinois native michael j. kendrick (trap set, household percussion) -- have forced a thousand years of oppression, seething and lost chance into a cascading and ultra-dynamic group sound.

widow's first dawn is an epic six-part song-cycle about a life buried by its surrounding loss and failure, rope transcends modern influence and looks back to the staggering explorations of polish composer komeda and other romantic greats. iwanik's whispered, near vocal hissing confessions shape the music's cinematic swell equally as near-smeared scat bellows of guest vocalist and polish jazz legend grazyna auguscik. drazek's crystallized guitar sheen pushes rope's sound beyond musical similarities. features grand ulena's darin gray on piano and unstable ensemble's marty belcher on soprano saxophone.

rope
fever
fv13 cd ep

debut by the polish (now chicago based) duo of przemyslaw chris drazek (acoustic guitars) and robert iwanik (electric bass, trumpet, vocals). while drum-less, the two create an inverse of the crushing weight through trance-like acoustic guitar picking coupled with deep valleys of silence, distant trumpet, light drones, and iwanik's soothing bass. drazek's amplified acoustics can jab like john cale's final ecstatic strokes during the velvet underground's "european son" or awaken the spirit of polish composer krzysztof komeda.
