The Brooklyn-based duo of Bob Jones and Jonathan Schenke contributes to the evolution of hybrid electronica by putting an interesting twist on it with a project called Eaters, which references many of the genre’s masters. Single “Far” (streaming) modernizes the Krautrock, mechanical approach of early Kraftwerk, by taming it with synth pitch bends reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and mellow, effected deadpan vocals. “Remainderman” wanders off into the pure, beatless ambient territory pioneered by Brian Eno, while “Bury The Lines” is built on the motorific beat German art rocker Michael Rother popularized with his band NEU! in the early 1970’s. It makes sense these guys are on Joel Ford’s (Ford & Lopatin) and Patrick McDermott’s Driftless Recordings label. The band opened for !!! at Glasslands on July 11. – Dave Cromwell
