SUMMARY:Lush
DESCRIPTION:Nine artists explore subjects that terrify and fascinate them using the artist residency house next to the Tube Factory artspace. Installations\, sculpture\, and photography transfigure the space into a series of visionary experiences. \nEric Broz\nI want everyone to like me. I just want to be famous and for everyone to like me and to be happy. I really just want to be rich and famous and for everyone to like me. The only thing I want is to be rich and famous and for everyone to like me. And maybe a Coke. If I’m rich and I’m famous and everyone likes me and I have a Coke\, I’d be happy.\nA Pepsi would be ok too. \nEmily Freese\nClothing relates to the body without the body needing to be there. It is a second skin to the human. I manipulate this second skin\, creating objects from what were once personal belongings. I am examining clothing\, through the absence of the body\, as a metaphor for the human. The clothing is subject to forms of deterioration to destroy\, as well as further\, its history. Creating my own forms of stains and wear on the fabric reflect a narrative of the human\, of the clothing. The stains are intimate and revealing. They show the presence of human touch\, and reflect a sense of control. While stains are present\, there is still a sense of sterility and stillness. Thus\, these forms of wear present an alteration to something once new. I pair clothing with familiar objects of the domestic household. I use acrylic\, steel\, rust\, bleach\, and plastic as mediums to create and contain the representational figure and transforming the narrative of the clothes. \nClare Gatto\nSecond Skins utilizes tropes and archetypes of femininity to point to larger social constructs. While my studio practice is rooted in photography\, it has expanded to encompass the use of new media\, including 3D scanning and modeling. This new form of representation enables a re-imagining of the way we view\, treat\, and understand ideas of the feminine. By using photographs combined with 3D Scanning technology\, I welcome the viewer into a world that attempts to challenge the notion of constructed norms. The work depicts a seductive environment without a horizon where fluidity is welcomed. \nPhilip Košćak\nI manipulate and multiply self-created and borrowed characters\, objects\, images\, text\, and dialogue. These fragmented text and images combined with personal memories reveal a stream of consciousness made up of double entendres and metaphors of identity that urge the viewer to reconsider what they already know\, and what they think they know. \nBrent Lehker\nLehker is an artist\, maker and designer. He holds a BFA from Herron School of Art. Brent works in multiple mediums\, but when asked he will say he “builds things.” When Brent says “builds things\,” he means the objects he builds with his hands along with the relationships he builds in his world.\nDipstick is a collaborative\, visual measurement of public participants’ perceptions. People are asked to dip a prearranged\, hang-able stick into a colored pigment to measure their feelings about questions posed to them. The sticks are then collected and hung on wire to form a visual display.\nDipstick is an ongoing series. \nSteve Moore\nThe porch has an abandoned mount for a swing that once allowed a position for a spectator. The remaining mounts provide a position to imagine a static plumb line exemplifying gravity’s effect while also acknowledging the potential forces being exerted in opposition.\nWe could image this idealized perspective as a prime site for hanging in fluid suspension\, similar to a womb or being rocked to sleep in a mother’s arms. From this imagined location\, a point in space at the confluence of Cartesian planes\, emits an eye \nMonica Sandoval\nBorn and raised in Los Angeles\, CA. Monica Sandoval received her MA from the California State University\, Northridge\, and is currently pursuing an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art.\nThrough video performance\, installation\, and object making Sandoval examines themes of identity\, self-preservation\, and ultimately futility. Her work is defiant\, amplifying the body as a means to protest any general notions attached to it. As a starting point\, Sandoval is currently investigating how she can distance herself from her own body (objectifying it in the process). All in order to link body image with the social construct surrounding desire. \nKatie Shroeder\nMy work uses material exploration and performance to discuss a variety of social concerns. By using building materials to create performances and sculptures\, I am able to explore the futility of physical consumption\, human communication\, and the roles we play within our own bodies. I use bricks\, clay\, plaster\, and wood to express cultural standards and challenge the importance of these social norms.\nI exploit societal roles through examination of self and culture. These examinations tend to be performances or sculptural objects that involve raw materials encountered every day. I strive to challenge the American standard involving mentalities of home owning\, debt\, labor\,\nbeauty standards\, and lavish spending. Post-performance\, what is left is an object or artifact. This creates an opportunity to challenge the viewer as they consider the tension caused between the perceived past (my performance) and the potentially contradictory atmosphere created by the presence of the physical relic.\nIn my most recent work\, I use found materials\, raw and fired clay\, and photography to position my audience as both an active participant and as a viewer. This dual role encourages the audience to question the truth behind the ideas presented in the work and to evaluate their relevance within contemporary culture. The potential distress between what is possible and what is impossible becomes a key function of the work. It allows for a reflective moment between object and interpretation; between my audiences body and my own. \nNick Witten\nWitten is obsessed with figuring it out. What is it? It is him\, his art\, you\, us\, how he interacts with you\, how he interacts with people\, how you interact with people\, how people interact with people\, what’s funny\, what’s sad\, what’s funny and sad\, who is in control\, who is out of control\, what is control\, what’s performing\, what’s genuine\, what’s smart\, what’s dumb\, what is the grey space between and whether or not he is rambling on right now (also if that was a good joke or not).\nThrough video based performances\, found and manipulated objects Witten creates work that unfolds into different avenues of conversation only to fold back in on itself. This möbius strip\, paired with formalist qualities\, invokes a feeling in the viewer that is hard to pin down. In this strange area humor becomes a lifeline. The work strives to understand how humor helps to build the social world around us\, how to utilize this tool\, and what it means to function in society today. \nImage: Second Skin\, Clare Gatto\, 2016

SUMMARY:Paddlit -- Part of the In Light In Festival
DESCRIPTION:Selected to be part of the In Light In festival that celebrates the 100th anniversary of Central Indiana Community Foundation\, Big Car lights up the paddle boats that\, using human power to chug through the canal. The Paddlit (paddle it) project involves the people on the boats working as paddlers — maybe better called petalers — who’ll be able to alter the cadence of waterproof LED lights glowing on and off colorfully just above the water.

SUMMARY:Night of the Hunter Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Selected by Cranbrook Art Museum curator Laura Mott to facilitate her interview with artist Scott Hocking\, who is currently exhibiting at Tube Factory artspace\, we will screen The Night of the Hunter then reference the interview between her and Hocking. \nThe Night of the Hunter is a 1955 American film noir directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum\, Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish. Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Davis Grubb\, it was adapted for the screen by James Agee and Laughton. The plot focuses on a corrupt reverend-turned-serial killer who attempts to charm an unsuspecting widow and steal $10\,000 hidden by her executed husband. \nThe novel and film draw on the true story of Harry Powers\, hanged in 1932 for the murder of two widows and three children in Clarksburg\, West Virginia. The film’s lyrical and expressionistic style with its leaning on the silent era sets it apart from other Hollywood films of the 1940s and 1950s\, and it has influenced later directors such as David Lynch\, Martin Scorsese\, Terrence Malick\, Jim Jarmusch\, Spike Lee\, and the Coen brothers. \nIn 1992\, The Night of the Hunter was deemed “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma selected The Night of the Hunter in 2008 as the second-best film of all time\, behind Citizen Kane.

SUMMARY:Librería Donceles
DESCRIPTION:Librería Donceles is an itinerant\, Spanish-language second-hand bookstore\, created by Pablo Helguera in 2013 out of a desire to address the lack of outlets that serve the growing Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. Since it was first installed in New York City\, has traveled to Phoenix\, San Francisco\, Brooklyn\, Seatle\, Chicago and now Indianapolis. Each time that it has been presented\, it has constituted the sole Spanish-language used bookstore within that city. This is the same night as the opening night of the  Scott Hocking exhibit at Tube Factory artspace.  \nAgosto 5-Octubre 22\nLibrería Donceles es una en librería itinerante de libros en español de segunda mano\, creada por Pablo Helguera en 2013 por el deseo de hacer frente a la falta de salidas que sirven a las comunidades hispanas y latinas que crecen en los Estados Unidos.

Cada vez que se ha presentado\, ha constituido en ser la única librería de libros en español dentro de esa ciudad. \nPart functioning bookstore and part participatory installation\, it confronts the very tangible implications of particular social dynamics\, revealing social structures that exist within plain sight\, while powerfully advocating for equity through the physical presence of a bookstore. It asserts the materiality of books\, at a time when digital platforms for reading have fundamentally shifted the economics of book production\, distribution\, and consumption. \nParte librería funcional y parte instalación participativa\, enfrenta a las consecuencias muy tangibles de determinadas dinámicas sociales\, revelando estructuras sociales que existen dentro de la vista\, mientras que poderosamente la defensa de la equidad a través de la presencia física de una librería.

Each book bears the name of its donor on a plate inside its front cover\, pointing to the social history retained within that book. Each visitor to the bookstore is allowed to purchase one book\, at a price that they set\, substituting the terms of a market economy with those of a gift economy. \nConsiste de 6.500 volúmenes sobre temas que van desde la biología a la arquitectura\, los libros fueron donados a cambio de obras de arte creadas por Helguera. Cada libro lleva el nombre de su donante en una placa dentro de su portada\, que apunta a la historia social retenido dentro de ese libro. Se permite que cada visitante a la librería para comprar un libro\, a un precio puesto por el visitante\, la sustitución de los términos de una economía de mercado con los de una economía del regalo. \nThe project takes its name from the historic street\, Calle Donceles\, in Mexico City that is lined with used bookstores. \nEl proyecto toma su nombre de la histórica calle\, la calle de Donceles\, en la Ciudad de México que está llena de tiendas de libros usados. \nPablo Helguera is a New York-based artist whose practice has addressed issues of memory\, ethnography\, pedagogy\, and the absurd through installation\, socially engaged art\, sculpture\, and performance. Helguera is the recipient of a Creative Capital Grant (2005)\, a Guggenheim Fellowship (2008)\, as well as the first International Award for Participatory Art (2011). \nPablo Helguera es un artista con sede en Nueva York\, cuya práctica ha abordado cuestiones de la memoria\, la etnografía\, la pedagogía\, y el absurdo a través de la instalación\, el arte socialmente comprometido\, la escultura y el rendimiento.

SUMMARY:RCA: Scott Hocking
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based Scott Hocking visited Indianapolis in January and selected the former RCA Factory at Michigan and LaSalle as fodder for his installation in the main gallery. “It immediately grabbed me\,” Hocking explained of the experience. “The RCA history was interesting enough. But the building was last used as a recycling plant\, and was filled with now abandoned\, un-recycled waste: plastic\, paper\, foam — thousands of objects.  The irony of these mountains of recyclables is that they would never be recycled. A huge pile of military grade plastic cases\, with ominous stencils: ‘laser firing simulator system\,’ ‘interrogation kit\,’ ‘casualty evacuation kit\,’ ‘tank weapon gunnery simulation system.’  Pallets of clothes and books\, including dozens of old hymnals. Plastic pill and dish soap bottles strewn everywhere. Giant fragments of fast food and gas station signage: McDonald’s\, Steel City\, Family Dollar\, Wendy’s. And a monster stack of Styrofoam slabs and wedges — melted and distorted from failed arson attempts.  The whole place was crazy and great.” \nHocking spent three weeks in Indianapolis gathering materials from the site\, documenting\, researching\, and creating his installation. He hauled over 100 massive hunks of burned Styrofoam\, multiple plastic blobs melted by fires\, fragmented fast food signage\, nifty anthropomorphic food-character murals\, and dozens of other artifacts. He brought this all to Tube Factory. And he worked onsite while living in Big Car’s neighboring artist residency home. The resulting installation uses the main gallery as a kind of ceremonial site — the burned Styrofoam mountain could be a dystopian temple or future glacier. \nAlso featured — in the eastside space adjacent to the cartoon food doodz from the old RCA building — is a sampling of Hocking’s Bad Graffiti series. These are photographs he takes of the work of renegade painters. The series\, featuring photos taken most often in Detroit\, now includes discoveries from his Indianapolis visits. \nIn the video room\, Hocking blends images from projects he’s competed in Detroit and rural Michigan with footage from his recent work in Indianapolis — offering a look at his often solitary and meditative process. The videos also highlight Hocking’s love of nature and ways the natural and man-made worlds are really one. \nHocking’s artwork has been exhibited internationally\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, the University of Michigan\, the Smart Museum of Art\, the School of the Art Institute Chicago\, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis\, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Museum\, the Mattress Factory Art Museum\, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, the Kunst-Werke Institute\, the Van Abbemuseum\, and Kunsthalle Wien. He was recently awarded a Kresge Artist Fellowship\, and is represented by Susanne Hilberry Gallery. \n“The coyotes roaming Detroit fascinate artist Scott Hocking. It is an animal that is adaptable and gregarious\, yet also solitary and rejects human domestication.  Hocking encounters them on his sojourns through the parts of the city where post-industrial urban landscape is in the process of being reclaimed by nature.  He creates photographs\, sculpture\, and assemblages in these places of transition. Likewise\, he is a coyote-like roamer in pursuit of evidence and archeological specimens created by the modern human species. The coyote is a frequent character in the folklore of the Western World going back to Mesoamerican cosmology—a picaresque figure that has the ability to assume both human and animal form.  It is easy to conjure such a fantastical character around Hocking\, because he is more of a scavenger than flâneur\, and his work is more mythology than documentary.” \n— Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design\, Cranbrook Art Museum \nThe exhibit\, curated by Shauta Marsh\, is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. \nThe exhibit is open Monday through Friday\, 9 am – 6 pm and Saturdays 11 am-3pm. \nPhoto: RCA\, installation of found materials\, Scott Hocking

SUMMARY:Ubu The King
DESCRIPTION:About the show:\nRough House Theater Company is touring to eight cities across the Midwest and East Coast with their production of Ubu the King\, Alfred Jarry’s 1896 masterpiece of absurdo-surrealism\, elaborately retold with original music and over 60 stunning hand-crafted puppets. \nIn a new adaptation by artistic director Mike Oleon\, Rough House’s Ubu the King brings Jarry’s seminal satire to life in all its absurd\, grotesque glory. In the hands of five power hungry puppeteer-performers\, Pa Ubu murders\, lies\, and farts his way up to the Polish throne – and back down again. Beautifully designed and meticulously realized by designer Grace Needlman\, Rough House’s Ubu is ridiculous\, heartbreaking\, and spectacular. \nAbout Rough House: \n\nRough House Theater Company is committed to connecting individuals and communities through art that celebrates the weird things that make us unique\, and the weirder things that bring us together. \nRough House creates theater that captures the heart through the eye. Rough House shows use puppetry\, music\, and human performance to tell stories that are intimate\, strange\, and sincere.  The company aims to invigorate audiences and inspire fellow artists through work that is rigorous\, adventurous\, and jubilantly weird. \nThrough educational programming\, cultivation of work by emerging and established artists\, and broadly accessible performances\, Rough House seeks to bring new life to puppet theater in Chicago\, and to invigorate a spirit of cross-disciplinary artistic experimentation within an ever-growing\, diverse community of artists.

SUMMARY:The Forbidden Room-Guy Maddin
DESCRIPTION:“We talk about movies being dreamlike\, but this is ridiculous. The Forbidden Room is often maddening\, occasionally beautiful\, and ultimately unforgettable\,” says Bilge Ebiri of Vulture Magazine. \nJoin us for a screening of THE FORBIDDEN ROOM\, Guy Maddin’s ultimate epic phantasmagoria. Honoring classic cinema while electrocuting it with energy\, this Russian nesting doll of a film begins (after a prologue on how to take a bath) with the crew of a doomed submarine chewing flapjacks in a desperate attempt to breathe the oxygen within. Suddenly\, impossibly\, a lost woodsman wanders into their company and tells his tale of escaping from a fearsome clan of cave dwellers. From here\, Maddin and co-director Evan Johnson take us high into the air\, around the world\, and into dreamscapes\, spinning tales of amnesia\, captivity\, deception and murder\, skeleton women and vampire bananas. Playing like some glorious meeting between Italo Calvino\, Sergei Eisenstein and a perverted six year-old child\, THE FORBIDDEN ROOM is Maddin’s grand ode to lost cinema. Created with the help of master poet John Ashbery\, the film features Mathieu Amalric\, Udo Kier\, Charlotte Rampling\, Geraldine Chaplin\, Roy Dupuis\, Clara Furey\, Louis Negin\, Maria de Medeiros\, Jacques Nolot\, Adele Haenel\, Amira Casar and Elina Lowensohn as a cavalcade of misfits\, thieves and lovers\, all joined in the joyful delirium of the kaleidoscopic viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans: Peril and Promise (1980-2000)
DESCRIPTION:In the 80s the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to United States – the Mariel exodus – floods Miami . The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home like activist\, Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration – has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture-as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating cross over hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation’s Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times? Latinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America’s largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls\, The Hispanic Moment.Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century; however their failure\, contributing to an underclass\, could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans:The New Latinos (1946-1965)
DESCRIPTION:Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. A young Juanita Sanabria arrives in New York\, works hard in the garment district\, but encounters hostility and discrimination. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness. \nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami. A child of 11 at the time\, Gustavo Perez Firmat believes like most refugees\, that it is only a matter of weeks before the American government will wrest Cuba from the Communist regime. But Castro survives. Maria de los Angeles Torres is only six years old when she leaves Havana without her parents\, one of 14\,000 children are smuggled out through an underground network. Unable to leave legally\, Manuel Capo and his two military age sons – make a dramatic journey to the US. With skills honed in the family furniture business in Cuba and support from the federal government\, the Capos build thriving business marketing to the growing Cuban population. \nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights. Julia Alvarez would take the immigrant experience – her own and that of her fellow Dominicans – to unprecedented literary heights in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. In her work\, she explores the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos\, who are now demanding their place in America. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

DESCRIPTION:May 6th sees the release of Will\, the revelatory third full-length album by Brooklyn experimental artist Julianna Barwick. Conceived and self-produced over the past year in a variety of locations\, the ominous\, compelling Will is a departure from 2013’s Alex Somers-produced Nepenthe. If that last record conjured images of gentle\, thick fog rolling over desolate mountains\, then Will is a late afternoon thunderstorm\, a cathartic collision of sharp and soft textures that sounds looming and restorative all at once.\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase tickets.\n\n\nBarwick’s life over the past several years has largely been lived in transit\, and as such the genesis of Will was not beholden to location; Barwick worked on the album in a variety of locales\, from a desolate house in upstate New York to the Moog Factory in Asheville\, North Carolina to Lisbon\, Portugal.  \n“I love touring\, but it can be a wild ride\,” Barwick reflects on this cycle of constant motion. “You’re constantly adjusting\, assimilating\, and finding yourself in life-changing situations.” Those experiences played into and helped shape Will’s charged\, unstable atmosphere: “I knew I’d be playing these songs live\, so I wanted some movement\,” she explains. “Something that had rhythm and low-end.” \nThat sense of forward propulsion is largely owed to Will’s synth-heavy textures. The electric current that runs through the album takes on various shapes of intoxicating instability. Featuring contributions from Thomas Arsenault (Mas Ysa)\, Dutch cellist Maarten Vos and percussionist\, Jamie Ingalls (Chairlift\, Tanlines\, Beverly)\, Will is largely a product of ups and downs\, a reflection of a life lived somewhere in between transience and standing still. “While making this record\, there were moments of isolation and dark currents\,” Barwick admits. “I like exploring that\, and I love when I come across songs that sound scary or ominous. I’ve always been curious about what goes into making a song that way.” The beguiling\, beautifully complicated Will is the result of that curiosity\, and proof of Barwick’s irresistibly engaging talent as a composer and vocalist. \nWill comes off of Barwick’s busiest period in her career\, following the release of Nepenthe—a spate of activity that included playing piano for Yoko Ono\, performing at Carnegie Hall at the annual Tibet House concert with the Flaming Lips and Philip Glass\, The Rosabi EP and beer created in conjunction with brewing company Dogfish Head\, and a re-imagining of Bach’s “Adagio” from Concerto In D Minor. \nWatch the Derrick Belcham-directed video for debut single\, “Nebula” which was filmed in the Philip Johnson Glass House and presents the essence of Will and Julianna Barwick’s richly complex musical fabric. \nJulianna Barwick’s music has been reviewed in Time Out New York\, Time Out Lisbon\, The New York Times\, and The Village Voice\, among other publications. Her music has also been featured as “Best New Music” on Pitchfork\, which also gave\, 2009’s “Florine” EP an honorable mention for an album of the year.  \nMas Ysa \n“Thomas Arsenault\, the person who records as Mas Ysa\, is difficult to pin down\, and that’s probably the best thing about him. He’s lived in Montreal and San Francisco and Sao Paolo and New York and wherever Oberlin is. He’s scored modern dance productions and remixed synthpop groups. He sometimes sings in an angelic\, reverby tenor and sometimes in a full\, throat-wracked howl. He makes mostly electronic records\, and he does it by itself\, but “producer” somehow doesn’t seem like the right job title for him. (I’ve also seen people describe him as a “composer\,” and that seems even more wrong.) Listening to his records\, it’s hard to tell which sounds are electronic and which are made by actual physical instruments. His music drifts freely between ambient and synthpop and oblique dance and good old-fashioned indie rock. And he’s conclusively proven that you don’t need a full band to sound vaguely like Arcade Fire. \nMas Ysa made his name on last year’s Worth EP\, which alternated between drifting\, pretty synth-drone and big\, chest-thumping psychedelic laptop-rock howlers. On Seraph\, his first proper album\, Arsenault pretty much smushes those two things together until they’re one thing\, and the result is a pleasant drift that never settles on one genre for more than a few seconds and stays appealing and interesting throughout. All the individual sounds\, like the glassy walls of keyboard on “Sick” or the happy-sigh New Order beeps of “Look Up\,” have an impressive widescreen gloss to them. Arsenault’s voice has that quavery tone that was so popular among mid-’00s indie-dude singers\, in which every word means so much that he just can’t choke it out without his throat catching. Some tracks play around with Euro-club house-thumps\, which sounds shockingly good with this sort of singing and this sort of production. Nicole Miglis from Hundred Waters shows up on “Gun\,” and her airy coo works as an absolutely lovely complement to Arsenault’s emotive gurgle. “Service” has some seriously badass Moroder-style Italo pulsing. There’s a lot to like here. \nAnd maybe\, for you\, there will be a lot to love. Arsenault’s closest peer might be Youth Lagoon’s Trevor Powers\, another indie auteur who pulls inspiration from wherever and whose songs seem to project meaning\, even if you don’t necessarily know what that meaning is. Youth Lagoon has never really gotten past the “pleasant background music” stage for me\, but that dude’s music means a lot to a lot of people. I suspect that the same will be true here. And even if you don’t end up loving this thing\, it’s still an impressive piece of work\, one that you should hear — if you can carve out the time. After all\, there is a truly unprecedented amount of great music out there. If something is merely good\, you can be forgiven for skipping it.”–Tom Breihan of Sterogum \nThis concert is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. About The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in 1987.
