Details:
Despite the name, Wicked Immigrant is neither an evil band of migrant workers nor a right-wing anti-alien group. It is, in fact, just two guys with a fucked-up sense of humor and the urge to create melodic, home-recorded music over great distances.
"White Nuns on Red Wine" is Wicked Immigrant''s latest offering. Its concise songs, crisp fidelity and improved performances make strides over the band''s debut.
John Wenzel (in Denver, Colorado) and Chris Jones (Dayton, Ohio) mailed Zip discs to each other in order to create "White Nuns on Red Wine," layering their contributions over the waning months of 2004 and enlisting the talents of people like Mike Behrenhausen (Maraca 5-0, Blusom), Dan Miller (Upstate, Dishwater Psychics) and Bob Patrick (Wildcat Road). Never having practiced or played together in the same room, the members created a weirdly intimate mood of collaboration. Think Lou Barlow, Sam Beam and Bob Pollard playing cards in a rusty missile silo.
Formed in 2003, Dayton, Ohio natives John Wenzel and Chris Jones enlisted the help of friends to craft their first album, "Reunion of Cynics," an mid-fi, indie-folk album that had no illusions about its stylistic schizophrenia. Check out more at https://www.tradebit.com
