Blacks’ Myths
Blacks’ Myths is a duo comprised of Luke Stewart on bass and Warren G. “Trae” Crudup III on drums. The group’s latest, “Blacks’ Myths II” collects thirteen tracks from a three day marathon recording session in the summer of 2019. The album was recorded live with no overdubs.
On Blacks’ Myths II, the group’s second release for Atlantic Rhythms, Stewart and Crudup build symbiotic rhythmic pieces, locking into something both hypnotic and free. Their collaboration is redefining the rhythm section by dismantling its tropes and injecting unpredictability, vibrancy, and freedom. The group’s debut, Blacks’ Myths (Atlantic Rhythms, 2018), established a space for ambience and eruption, building hypnotic rhythmic structures and exploratory soundscapes. Blacks’ Myths II keeps that exploration alive with an expanding set of collaborators and further meditations on Sonic Blackness.
Lunden
Danish duo Lunden (Abstract Tits) is added as a supporting act. Playing an extreme hybrid of post metal, neotribal and improvisation, the duo is creating a sound stretching melody and rhythm with fierce guitar riffs and ritual-like drum patterns. Lunden played with Fire! At ALICE in 2019, and we’re looking forward to having them back.
