Slasher Risk live on WFMU's My Castle of Quiet 10/28/09
I'm running out of ways to gush about Slasher Risk. Point is, this relatively young band, a duo, doesn't seem to yet realize how good they are, or how amazing they're going to be in just a short while. That's a fine thing, because it means they're only doing what must be done—what comes naturally. And what comes naturally is dynamic improvised music, with one limb occasionally stuck in something that remembers rock, but just as often or more so, dances in the air above the unimaginable maw of the Lovecraftian abyss. Frightening to some, but not to Andy or Sara, who do it seemingly just because it's their thing.
A two-person Can? Lou and Sterling? Moe and Sterling? Or a guitar-noise duo whose work makes Solmania seem "uptight"—just who the hell are Slasher Risk?
Here are 37+ minutes that at least put us closer to an answer:
Good photo and top-notch session engineering by Trent.
Lousy photo and video (after the jump) by your host and author.
Slasher Risk also played live on Marty McSorely's show in 2008, available here:
