Freetime + Me

Free Time confuses Randy Newman with Phil Niblock - songs revolve around guitar-trumpet-guitar exchanges and grow to include rotating players and evolving arrangements. Former and current members of No Regular Play, Beirut, and Psychic Ills make a peculiar racket that doesn't quite fall into line with past associations. Free Time will play to projections of Kon Ichikawa's Tokyo Olimpiad.

ME is an iconoclastic pop induced group established and originated by composer Corinne Caouette who is inspired and driven by an ever evolving body of work and players committed to stretching sound and blurring genre while maintaining the form of song and story. "The music is at once dark, but not morbid; at once lush and brittle;  frenetic yet serene; ballasted by lyrics that invoke some unifying theory, perhaps, that the stuff that makes us most alive is the stuff we least want to see."
