To us, Havens is more of a radiating 70 minute voyage “forged from the myriad possibilities arising when strings collide with electricity & space”. When Licht performed his album Currents live, he was taken by the overtones surging atop his song-like pieces. He was granted a newfound sense of possibility, infused with a rock-born urgency. By way of lightning-fast, urgent strumming gradually unfurling layers of phantom harmonics. “Celestial punk, if you will”.
Alan Licht has worked with Jim O’ Rourke, Fennesz, John Zorn & Loren Connors and has a background in curating (Tonic New York) and journalism (The WIRE, Modern Painters, Blank Forms). His musical work is marked by contrast & contradiction: maximalism versus minimalism; shredding versus abstraction; improvisation versus calculation. Peer a bit deeper and you’ll find that within that friction lies an incredibly fertile soil.
