Buke & Gass - Page Break

BUKE & GASS would prefer you enjoy the more high-fidelity version of the video which appears on their YouTube page right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccD8eCD0vWI

This Brassland version will remain for continued absorption of "hits" and your online commentary.

****

In regards to the new video, band member Arone Dyer has this to say: "Intentions are best left at the base of one's backbone, unless heeding to impulses actually gets one somewhere, in which case, trouble might arise and one must be prepared with ones pants belted tightly."


"Gorgeously clattering. . . " -- VillageVoice.com

"kinda dying to see Buke and Gass live" -- @sfj (Sasha Frere-Jones via Twitter)

"It's a showcase of both deft multi-tasking and distinctive songwriting that's just bizarre enough to crack the shell of your calcified mind." -- SF Weekly

"OMFG, Buke & Gass blew me away tonight." -- @michaelazerrad (Michael Azzerad via Twitter)

". . . each work their mutant string creations while simultaneously kicking away at a smorgasbord of percussion and effects pedals. Think two Mark Sultans at once, with good-timey rock vibes replaced by art-damaged intricacy." -- Flavorpill

"It's this year's most exhilarating illustration of the way proggy ambition and indie-style rawness are commingling to create a new art-rock benchmark. If Buke and Gass's instruments are merely odd, the sounds they produce are downright magical." - Time Out New York

"Buke & Gass use odd but effective pacing and homemade instrumentation over which Arone Dyer's more traditional vocals bring the songs back to reality to be marveled at." -- KEXP blog

"Buke and Gass' inspired, melodically rich avant-pop threatens to turn an otherwise memorable night into the stuff of legend." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The Brooklyn duo offers fascinatingly earnest and often ecstatic prog-tastic pop experiments on homemade hybrid instruments." -- Time Out Chicago

". . . the results are positively arresting." -- Pitchfork

". . . a piquantly pointy-headed pop played on homemade hybrid instruments, spiced with loping African polyrhythms and other odd meters. B&G's happily lopsided 'song' structures are custom-designed to encourage deep-in-though chin-stroking even on the dance floor." -- LA Weekly

". . . gritty, carefully composed songs which both excited and delight." -- WNYC Culture

". . . it stands as proof that the marriage of ingenuity, aggression and a push toward musical bliss can still yield unexpected results." -- Dusted
