ORDER THE DOUBLE LP by contacting:

Forged in ornate, melodic songwriting, this is drone music that has been arrived at through fearsome complexity. Ambient, but cubist. Both ancient and modern, this is an exciting new entry into the American avant-garde. Near touchstones may be found in Germany’s kosmische Musik or the UK’s fabled Canterbury scene, but Feast Of The Epiphany’s electrocuted folk tapestries are entirely unique. Here is a spiraling processional of distortion-drenched keyboards, surprising bass lines, and sometimes lurking, sometimes soaring, always impassioned vocals. Imagine a distant cousin of dungeon-synth stepping outside to discover reality, with two accomplished guitarists in tow providing counterpoint. 

The three members of this ensemble have served as an integral connection among a broad variety of artists in New York’s music and art communities. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Podgurski plays drums in the acclaimed doom-improv trio GRID, composes ambient keyboard music as New Firmament, and spent years as a member of avant rockers Extra Life. Guitarist Andrew Smiley performs solo and as guitarist of Little Women, Chris Pitsiokos Quartet, Bloor, and Empyrean Atlas. Multi-instrumentalist Caley Monahon-Ward (ex-Extra Life, Voice Coils) has contributed work to such collaborators as: Xiu Xiu, Liturgy, Snowblink, Erica Eso, ICE Ensemble, Alarm Will Sound.



Thank you to: Theo and Megan, Tony Gedrich, Keith Abrams, Nick McMaster, Johnny Deblase, Carl Saff, Martin Bisi, Colin Marston, Rachel Rosheger, Jaci Raia, Roger Hayn, Hank Shteamer, Travis Laplante, and countless others whose contributions have been invaluable in bringing this to fruition.
