"Disco" by Lazarus

trr124Stream it here. A nice acoustic guitar number gives way to a pastel and post-ironic electronic instrumental, then the two stay for a brief dance. Some intel:

Lazarus began in 2001 as Trevor Montgomery’s post-Tarentel solo project, a pilgrimage of either insanity or freedom – or both. ‘Songs For an Unborn Sun’ was his first release, a minimal and soulful collaboration with longtime friend Marty Anderson (Okay, Dilute). His second release, ‘Like Trees We Grow up to be Satellites (The Backwards America)’, punched through the whispering darkness into an orchestral declaration of strength, political upheaval, and hope. Recorded by Scott Solter (Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats), it was a playful and rich approach at expressing both failures and fortunes of life. Lazarus has now grown into a small ensemble, featuring Sacramento natives Kathryn Sechrist and Kelly Nyland, exloring overwhelmingly beautiful depths with dense layers of drums, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, glockenspiel, and Trevor’s shamanistic, gospel-inspired vocals. Lazarus has become a brilliant, soulful, psychedelic experience of experimental and political grace. At last, this pilgrimage has found a solid road to freedom.
