R. Ring Ignite The Rest

R.Ring is Kelley Deal and Mike Montgomery. It is guitars, voices and keys. The music is sparse, abrasive, chaotic and lulling, often within the same song. It is a celebration of yet departure from their work in their other bands (Kelley with the Breeders and Mike with Ampline). On Ignite the Rest, R.Ring's debut full length LP (available now from SofaBurn), Kelley and Mike have enlisted the help of a few friends to flesh out some of the material. The bits of drumming that appear are courtesy of Laura King (Mac MaCaughan and the Non-Believers,), Joe Frankl and professional skateboarder Kristian Svitak. The compelling Cello arrangements are by Lori Goldston (Earth/ Nirvana). The tracks run the gamut from plaintive meanderings to noise pieces to mid-tempo swoons to raucous barn-burners.
