BOMARR returns from the depths with Freedom From Frightened Air, a ten-track collection compiling new songs, collaborations with CLOVIS HEALD, and remixes of GRIZZLY BEAR and MIDSTATES. The material was recorded from 2005-2007, a period in which Bomarr (aka MATT VALERIO) dropped "the monk" from his name and kept all but idle as the drummer of BAT RAYS, an exhibiting video collagist, a DJ, an improv musician, a compilation curator for Sneakmove, and as a remixer for Tunng, Of Montreal, and Pedestrian, all while preparing his focus for a proper LP with his RESTIFORM BODIES cohorts.
As Bomarr's first official solo CD since 2002's Beats Being Broke, Freedom From Frightened Air (inspirationally titled after a Simon Evans painting) showcases a vastly developed style, ranging from beat-driven synth tracks, through upbeat electronic punk, to nearly hypnotic melodies-- all which are sure to please fans of a headphone music experience.
