Structure

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Highly structured ultra minimalist instrumentals featuring multiple guitars, basses, and drums. Distinctly lacking solos, yet full of intense dynamics and repetition. A sucessful creation of a wall of sound, augmented by horns and strings. Steve Reich meets Phil Spector.

Produced by Robert Poss (BAND OF SUSANS) Mastered by Alan Douches (BURNING AIRLINES, PROMISE RING)



REVIEW
".but like.Philip Glass's compositions, these tunes bear well to repeated and concentrated listening." -- Washington Post

"TONE delivers a rich, full-bodied, voluminous sound seldom heard outside the orchestral circle." -- IPR Archives

"TONE is anything but a chaotic circus of guitar-army noise. The secret is in the arrangements.repetitive, mesmerizing minimum." -- Phoenix New Times

ABOUT THE ARTIST
TONE was formed in Washington, DC in 1991, by Norm Veenstra. The goal was to create instrumental music using a layered, multiple guitar format, but still working within a rock context, with a drummer and one or two bass players. The result is a dense, sometimes noisy, rock band with academic leanings at times. But at the core of the sound, there is a dedication to finding the ultimate riff, or drone part that can happen with multiple guitars and resulting fun harmonic accidents. The best aspect of the sound is watching or listening to this music and hearing parts that no one is actually playing, but that just happen from the interplay of the instruments. TONE have played many shows in the DC area supporting touring acts such as The Jesus Lizard, godspeedyoublackemperor, Stereolab, Mercury Rev, Luna, Man or Astroman to name a few and have ventured around the east coast a bit as well. The currently live line up includes two drummers. Structure is the third CD release from TONE.
