ROCK: Instrumental Rock, ROCK: Noise
Details:
Trying to pigeonhole the music of Austin''s My Education is akin to trying to stuff a pigeon in a hole: the sound is calamitous, there''s movement all around, the frenzied beating of wings against wall, and somewhere something is pumping out blood. There''s great beauty as well, counter pointing the seeming chaos, and flowing like a mercury tear into the emptiness inside. Vocals were never necessary to begin with, and even Phil Spector couldn''t envision a wall of sound this gorgeous. Formed in 1999 featuring former and current members of Stars of the Lid, ultrasound, and Cinders, the seven-piece My Education is an instrumental hybrid: part space-rock cacophony, part punk rock sonic wipeout, and part ambient bad trip. Founding members Brian Purington, Eric Gibbons, and Sean Seagler left "dirty, nasty" San Angelo, TX, behind in 1999, relocating in Austin, TX, and promptly found themselves frightening clubgoers with their unique yet unsettling sound, and eventually recorded a two-track 7" at former 16 Deluxe snakepit/recording studio The Bubble with vocalist Joe Covington. Covington was later sacked to make room for larger mike stands, and with the addition of keyboardist Kirk Laktas, viola player James Alexander, violinist Travis "T-BONE" Weller, and second, taller guitarist Chris Hackstie, assumed their current line-up, usual suspects all.
