Qurious is the surprising collaboration between a
hip-hip producer/sample collagist and a vocal texturist/muli-instumentalist.
Since winter 2009, the pair has taken up casting a sonic net over the patrons
of the Atlanta and Athens music scenes.
Whether from headphones or on stage, one is inevitably
caught spellbound. The siren-like vocals which lay atop the depths of
keyboard/sample-based aural tapestries capture intellects and sway those fleshy
physical forms into dance. With compositions as various and interesting as
their subject matter, Qurious challenges audiences to follow them through
the melodic looking-glass, venturing into a more cerebral listening
experience.
Summoning nature-inspired soundscapes in their premiere
concept-album: Planet Plant, the group built an enthralling narrative of
terrestrial imagery encapsulated in otherworldly vision. The piece served as a
brilliant introduction to the band and landed them a Creative Loafing title: Best Ambient Composers of
2011. Keeping things inquisitive as always, the group can be expected to evolve
their enigmatic and sexy brand of auditory escape.
"You have to know the rules before you can effectively
break them, and Qurious seems to operate on a higher level of
consciousness than its electro peers. Between Mike Netland's starry-eyed
production and Catherine Quesenberry's spellbinding voice, the duo delves deep
into the realm of pure atmospherics with a sense of sophistication that eludes
the rest." - Creative Loafing Atlanta
"The crowd was entranced, unable to keep from dancing
along with these bioluminescent ambassadors of electronica" - Flagpole
"Each track is a varied experiment in electronics with
plenty of headphone tantalizing tones" - Good Pop, Bad Pop
The release show will be on Wednesday, November 21st at The Drunken Unicorn.
