PRE-ORDER: Bow & Arrow [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Somewhere between medieval plainchant, electroacoustic improvisation, and spectral folk song lies Bow and Arrow, the remarkable collaboration between Lea Bertucci and Michael Beharie. Their debut record occupies a space both ancient and uncannily contemporary. Bertucci calls it "devotional music for the age of alienation," music that "sounds like the drugs kicking in." Bells appear throughout the album as gestures of both anachronism and quiet resistance - a salve to a time of perpetual distraction. Bertucci and Beharie's voices intertwine, dissolve into electronic distortion, and re-emerge in moments of harmony. Like an afternoon wandering through frozen terrain. Like imagined intimacy.Bow and Arrow represents a fascinating nexus between the two artists' established practices: Beharie's gift for melody and songcraft folds seamlessly into Bertucci's rigorous experimentalism, creating music suspended outside linear time: experimental, gentle, and profoundly human.
