Voice Of Action Voice Of Action

Voice of Action is nuts and bolts. Foundational sex drive and energy. In and out. A quickie. Swell Maps with a good scrubbing. Singing along with anticipation. Soothingly fierce. It's looking around to see what's what, taking the bad with the good. Fogging up plate glass windows, trying to catch a glimpse of what's on the other side. Enhanced reality. Loneliness and isolation. It's laying it out for all to hear and see. A cappella if need be. VoA is a collection of Mark Henning's more recent compositions. He spent the late 90s and early-to-mid aughts making broad gestures in the studio with The National Trust (Thrill Jockey) and wanted to move towards something he could show up and play without seventeen other musicians. He helmed the legendary, but criminally overlooked early 90s band Zoom, who shape-shifted the first four years of the decade and invented a brand new sound on their last lp Helium Octipede, a collaboration with the dark prince of American Underground Rock-n-Roll, the one-and-only Greg Sage (Wipers). The Creator of it all. He spent many years in Chicago & New York making playing and making records with the likes of Brian McMahon (Electric Eels), Chris Connelly (Ministry & Revolting Cocks), Neil Rosario (Dolomite/National Trust), Hamish Kilgour (The Clean), Dwight Twilley, The Lowdown Dirty D.A.W.G.S. to name a few... He is joined by Jeff Panall on drums (Songs Ohia, Hot Dog City) and Alissa Hacker on bass (Twat Vibe, Office).
