Setting (members of Pelt, Califone) “Like Fripp and Eno holed up in a mountain cabin looking for UFOs, Setting’s debut is a luminous slice of kosmische Appalachia that’s like scanning the horizon until you lose all separation between earth and sky.” –Aquarium Drunkard. SETTING is a North Carolina-based trio featuring Nathan Bowles (solo/trio, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) on strings, keys, tapes, and percussion; Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors, Peeesseye) on harmoniums, synthesizers, and piano zither; and Joe Westerlund (solo, Califone, Sylvan Esso, Jake Xerxes Fussell) on drums, percussion, and metallophones. With an opening set by Arcata's own NEW SATURDAY MOURNING LIGHT THROUGH A WINDOW. 21+
When someone drops the word “rainbow” into their album title, they set up some expectations. If your imagine conjures hopes of Deep Purple-derived heaviosity, Shone A Rainbow Light On is a serious red herring. But if you are tuned into sound’s capacity to uplift, the four-part debut LP by Setting is at your service.
Multi-instrumentalists Nathan Bowles, Jaime Fennelly, and Joe Westerlund combine forces on textured, stormy folk compositions that encourage deeper listening.
