Nels Cline, Alex Cline Interview

NPR Music interviews the Cline brothers.

You may not have heard of Nels Cline. But if you’re a fan of the band Wilco, you’ve probably heard his guitar.

Nels Cline joined the massively popular band in 2004 and appears on its latest recording Sky Blue Sky. But for his new album, Coward, Cline is a one-man band: He’s overdubbed himself on guitars and several other instruments.

Not that he doesn’t have anyone to play with. For years, Cline has played guitar in many experimental rock and jazz bands — and he grew up practicing with his identical twin brother, Alex.

Musique Machine Reviews

From Musique Machine:

Wrnlrd – Oneiromantical War

Oneiromantical War is an dense blacked maze like journey into slow ‘n’ deep buzzsaw blacked metal guitar work-outs, which are flecked by odd edger’s and highly with creative blacked spirit. Seemingly the deeper you get into the album the more crushing and strange Oneiromantical War gets.

Oblong Box – 13th Floor
13th Floor is a highly satisfying & morbidly atmospheric 3inc cdr from one man USA project Oblong Box. With the four tracks here sitting somewhere between blacked yet fairly active ambience, horror cinematic and slowed industrial throb ‘n’ dwell.

Circle – Hollywood
Hollywood finds Circle once more shifting their sound into new genres & stringing into their instantly recognisable hypnotic riff presence a very 1980’s USA bound feel with: harmony led pop rock, geeky new wave airs, 80’s heavy metal- long with the traces of the blues & country too.
