BOX OF BREATH (vinyl)

Description

"Hazmat Modine has elevated American music to the stature of Shakespeare, with songs, parables of the human experience, condensed into a "TinPan Alley" song format. With his distinctive voice and harmonica, Joe Daley's indescribable sousaphone, their classic horns, various strings, percussion, and shimmering vocal harmonies,... is a collection of Sturm & Drang from the traditional American ensemble." "Hazmat Modine:... this wild band led by singer and harmonica player Wade Schuman. They play original Blues, most often from Schuman's limitless imagination. His voice, by the way, seems to be bottomless..." THE NEW YORKER "A truly mysterious band about whom the only sure thing to say is this: it's extremely New York. Only in this immense metropolis can collectives like this flourish and develop and invent such an astonishing combination of music based on so many genres..." TIMEOUT MOSCOW
