Ensemble / et Al.

The Slow Reveal Ensemble / et Al.

For *'The Slow Reveal'*, four drummers with an obsession for loud, weird and beautiful music have coalesced into an idiosyncratic percussion-centric group with post-rock prowess. **ensemble, et al**. is not your standard percussion ensemble. Although the group got its start in the New York contemporary classical world, the band never quite felt at home in this setting. After years of self-discovery, collaborative-writing and recording, the group left behind its mild interest in academic acceptance and moved headlong towards its vision of textural soundscapes, 70s Miles mystery, and IDM intricacies. *'The Slow Reveal'* engineered and produced by **John McEntire** *(Tortoise, Stereolab)* has all the soaring soundscapes, ferocious drumming, and bombastic bass sounds you would expect from the genres mentioned above, with the patience and payoff characteristic of our academic antipoles. Each song is a story that is both entrancing in its repetition and kinetic at its fruition.
