Magnetic Sky by SPIRAL WAVE NOMADS

Third album from SPIRAL WAVE NOMADS, the duo of Michael Kiefer and Eric Hardiman. Byron Coley has previously described their music as "wonderfully explosive, difficult to predict and utterly mind-melting". About this new one he says:

"Magnetic Sky is a deliriously enthralling set of expanding improvisations. Employing the strings of Albany's Eric Hardiman and the drums of New Haven's Michel Kiefer, along with electronic tone generation from the both of them, the music here flows like a torrent of highly charged particles. The duo creates massive sonic width and depth by piling up instrumental passages in layers. This allows the music to peel itself like a psychedelic onion spinning crazily in a forgotten pocket of deep space."

On this new record, they push further outward, always adding new elements into the mix (shahi baaja, mellotron, keys and synths) along with the core guitar, bass, and drums. Kiefer also plays in More Klementines, Rivener, and Drifting North. Hardiman plays in Sky Furrows, Century Plants, Burnt Hills, and performs solo as Rambutan.
