Heroes of Toolik - Like Night (Audio CD - 08/26/2016)

The members of New York City’s avant-garde supergroup Heroes of Toolik all have heavy musical histories but their full-length album "Like Night" is as lyrical and lighthearted as a late Summer evening Heroes of Toolik first banded together 2012, a confederation of old friends with storied musical pasts. Guitarist Arad Evans (Glenn Branca Ensemble) and bass player Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers), met while touring in Rhys Chatham’s Donnergotter band in the 1980’s. Brooks had played with Billy Ficca in Gods and Monsters; Ficca helped transform rock forever as a member of the seminal avant-rock outfit Television (which he still tours with). Robert Poss – an acquaintance of Arad’s from the Chatham ensemble (who went on to form Band of Susans) --contributed guitar as a guest to the new album and then joined as a regular member. On trombone is the Latin session player John Speck who was recommended to the band by their original trombonist Peter Zuommo. Arad met painter and art-critic Jennifer Coates via Kevin Bud Jones of Collapsible Shoulder; after seeing her play with a former band, he was suitably impressed and recruited her to play violin and sing.
