WRENS w Elias Stemeseder, Jason Nazary, Lester St. Louis und Ryan Easter
“Brooklyn-grown WRENS isn’t afraid to flutter its wings around the question, “Why not?” Stirring an eclectic assortment of sound, texture, and unabashed lyricism, the supergroup bolsters a casual-yet-maddening temperament that sets to ensnare the wandering listener into its nest. Jason Nazary (drums), Lester St. Louis (cello), Ryan Easter (trumpet/vocals), and Elias Stemeseder (keyboard/synths) wield their respective sabers with a dose of electronic flare on their inaugural release, “alligator shoes [on flatbush]”; enabling improvised, dynamic landscapes to get doused with occasional rap verses.”
