Paul Metzger, Tim Kaiser
Paul Metzger and Tim Kaiser make their second appearance at Open Lot bringing material from a new full legth and LP since Metzger's Deliverance.
"...The Saint Paul native attaches sitar-style drone strings, music-box parts, and other objects to his guitars and banjos—and simply steep in the power of the sounds. The hard-tugged, solitary notes with which Metzger opens each piece might curl like lazily rising smoke or accelerate into a near pileup of breakneck runs; either way, if the flawless control he has over the music’s ragalike shape-shifting doesn’t get you, the knife-between-the-teeth intensity of his playing will."
-- Chicago Reader, Bill Meyer
"Metzger creates otherworldly sounds unique unto themselves. His long, elaborate gypsy raga improvisations are skillful sonic meditations that sound both ancient and fresh in their immediacy."
