What we think:"findlay_hunter_rennie is as experimental as it gets. Forget choruses, vocals or even recognisable song structures; theirs is an esoteric world of delicious cello sweeps, delicate dropped beats and warm, womb-like murmurs. It may not make sense to the conventional ear, but loosen the restraints on your cochlea and you might just find some ethereal treats." Chris LongWho’s in the band?"Kate Findlay is the cellist, she studied music at Manchester University, specialising in composition. Anton Hunter is the guitarist and is a jazz musician. Tullis Rennie is the laptop-ist, who also studied at Manchester University, specialising in electroacoustic composition." What type of music do we play?"findlay_hunter_rennie emerge from Manchester 's unsung experimental underground, with a debut album brimming full of razor sharp ideas, glistening soundscapes, soaring melodies and decomposed structures. "f_h_r play beautiful, uncompromising, challenging, engaging, warm, dark, contradictory, improvised music. Always live, always unpredictable, never planned. Cello meets guitar meets trombone meets laptop meets a lot of effects pedals..." What’s the findlay_hunter_rennie story?"findlay_hunter_rennie met in Manchester.
