Eaters

Eaters, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist/composer Bob Jones and recording engineer and sound designer Jonathan Schenke, is an adventure in juxtaposition. On the duo's self-titled debut sprawling synth swells are punctuated by driving motorik grooves and screaming leads, relentless rhythmic sequences melt into viola drones and otherworldly textures, while fractured pop is enveloped by washes of white noise and spat back out again. Lyrics about love and life are processed to the edges of humanity.

Eaters (now joined by glass sculptor/installation artist Christopher Duffy) have shared the stage with acts ranging from Dan Deacon and !!! to Parquet Courts and Protomartyr, and performed at MoogFest 2014. Their self-titled debut is out now on Driftless Recordings / Dull Tools.

"It's as though Eaters found a hidden path in the mainframe of machine music that leads to an emotional core thought impossible in the metal cogs and live wires." - Impose

"The textures on Eaters are beautiful: Grim and subdued but so rich you could raise tomatoes in them." - Pitchfork
