Bronze is kicking off 2016 with a new LP on Castle Face Records on March 25, and it’s totally Live in San Francisco. Cleverly, they’re dropping their first single “Re Enactment,” sort of meta-musically placating the entire concept of the album. As Live in San Francisco is an entirely recorded set of Bronze, “Re Enactment” is literally what the LP is creating for listeners: the action of performing a new version of an old event, usually in a theatrical performance. And since TMT has been covering Bronze for the past two or three years now, I’ll grip a fresh voice to describe their feel. John… John you back there? John Dwyer, ladies and gents:
For 9 years they have been slowly simmering in a pot
For 9 years I have been seeing them usurp every gig they have been on
I’ve never seen a bad Bronze show…they range from smiling and hypnotized dancing crowds
to a man getting violated and urinated on at a yuppie bar (everyone still smiling)
Always the entertainers
Always drunk with mad skills
With dashes of John Carpenter, Silver Apples, Liquid Liquid, Birthday Party, Harold Grosskopf, Klaus Schultze, Cluster, and Brian Ferry with a field recorder taped to his tux jacket
Ultra bottom heavy dance beats a la Brian Hock (shirt off/ shirt on, it’s all good to me)
Super hand-wringing oscillations home brewed by Miles Friction
and the ever-great Robert Spector delivering homilies from beyond the dimensional wall
Keep an eye out March 25th for Bronze’s Live in San Francisco on Castle Face Records, and get a taste of their “Re Enactment” below:
