"IF a BODY MEET a BODY by SQUANDERERS

Shimmy-2028 (Release Date - November 22, 2024)

The Debut Collaboration by three unique American Composers

Squanderers are guitarists Wendy Eisenberg and David Grubbs alongside multi-instrumentalist and legendary producer Kramer. The group burst into existence as the duo of Kramer & Grubbs with the single “Congress of Poodles” b/w “Lendrick Muir Bible Study Weekend”, part of Kramer’s 2023 Shimmy-Disc box set Rings of Saturn.

Squanderers now enter the arena of live performance recording with the addition of bona-fide guitar slayer Eisenberg, a dream of a foil to Grubbs’s grubbslike guitarisms, setting the scene for Kramer to follow his bass & drone divining rod, divining urges, not dirges.

In Grubbs’s book-length poem, 'The Voice in the Headphones', “Squanderer” is the nickname that most deeply troubles the book’s unnamed protagonist: “Hang your head, Squanderer. You’ll never darken the doorway of Studio A.

It’s funny, I only recently became aware of Bill Orcutt via thee algorithm of YouTube, and had the same thought - “this NPR Tiny Desk Concert is great, but at 12 minutes it’s barely a taste, I wanna hear a whole show…” and then suddenly REPRESS! It’s like a spiritual algorithm or something ;) phantom_harlock

Ambarchi is such a master of the continuous musical thought, a slowly unfurling impulse equal parts urgent and aimless. Outstanding ❤️ benmike
