About Me |
|
|
Martin Bisi, performer/songwriter has been a prominent indie fringe record producer/engineer in New York since the early '80s. At the Brooklyn studio he founded with the help of Brian Eno, he has worked in many genres from early hip-hop to indie rock, no-wave, metal and avant-garde - classic records from Sonic Youth, Material, Herbie Hancock (Rockit), Africa Bambaata, The Dresden Dolls, Swans, John Zorn, Helmet, White Zombie, Cop Shoot Cop, Foetus, and most recently, Serena Maneesh and Ex-Models. In his own band, Martin Bisi [band], he plays guitar and sings. His new album veers between moody, psychedelic, poppy and harder rock. The sound is mostly dense and rich in instruments and multiple vocals, but then also edgy and quirky. Bisi's persona can be raw and confrontational, as well as funny and self effacing. The songs are mostly entertaining vignettes of love and obsession in NYC. The multiple female characters in the songs inspired the elaborate artwork in the 20 page booklet, and the album title Sirens Of The Apocalypse .
