Dan Friel
Dan Friel counts Oval among the list of performers he's played with, evidence enough of the schizoid electronic tendencies of his new LP Sunburn recently released on Velocirecords. Friel, responsible for most of the electronic and guitar madness in Brooklyn's Parts & Labor, has compiled seven experimental nuggets culled from a sonic palette including a toy keyboard, walkie talkies, remote control car joysticks, guitar pedals, and one 5-string guitar. While I'm not even remotely an expert on experiments in noise, I was surprised by the subtle melodic complexities on Sunburn and I would highly recommend this not only to fans of Parts & Labor, but to those, who like Friel himself, are "into exploring the more folkier aspects of electronics and electronic music."
Friel's using recycled jewelcases for the record, so if you have been meaning to get rid of your old ones, get in touch with him at his Web site.
