Teleportal - "Devour" (2019) (ex-Hovercraft)

[Birds in Hell]

http://www.teleportalband.com/#music

TELEPORTAL WAS FORMED IN 2015 AND JUST FINISHED THEIR FIRST RECORD.

THEY RECORDED WITH SAM FELL AND DOUG MCBRIDE AT GRAVITY STUDIOS IN WICKER PARK, CHICAGO.

BETH LIEBLING AND JOHNNY ROSSA MET MANY YEARS AGO WHILE PLAYING IN OTHER BANDS. WHILE REMAINING CLOSE FRIENDS, THEY NEVER PLAYED MUSIC TOGETHER.

IN 2015, THEY WENT INTO A FRIENDS STUDIO IN CHICAGO TO MESS AROUND AND EXPERIMENT. THEY HAD CHEMISTRY AND BEGAN TO EXPLORE FURTHER WITH SOUNDS AND RECORDING TECHNIQUES.

ROSSA BRINGS THE LISTENER INTO HIS OTHER WORLDS, SOME BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL WHILE OTHERS DARK AND UNNERVING.

LIEBLING WANTS TO TAKE IT LOW, A CONSTANT RUMBLE THAT BECKONS YOU.

EVENTUALLY THEY ADDED JAMES BOURLAND ON GUITAR AND RIC PETERSON ON DRUMS.

BOURLAND ADDED A LANDSCAPE OF SONIC EXPLORATION WITH AN EVER GROWING PEDAL BOARD. HE CREATES UNIQUE SOUNDS AND CONSTANTLY EVOLVING TEXTURES.

PETERSON HAS A UNIQUE STYLE ALL HIS OWN, MORE LIKE A GALLOPING HORSE THAN A CLICK TRACK PRO.

JOHNNY ROSSA - VOCALS (PAST BANDS - SULACO, THE LAST SUPPER, LEXINGTON QUEEN)
BETH LIEBLING - VOCALS AND BASS (PAST BANDS - HOVERCRAFT ON BLAST FIRST/MUTE & SCHEMA ON 5 RUE CHRISTINE/KILL ROCK STARS)
JAMES BOURLAND - GUITAR (PAST BANDS - THE ELECTRIC GHOST GYPSIES, KELLEY AHLSTROM & DIRTY DARLINGS)
RIC PETERSON - DRUMS (PAST BANDS - HOVERCRAFT & SCHEMA)

Not on this board, son.

I'm just pleased to see Beth doing something musically, particularly with Rick on drums too.

Having listened to a bit of this, the singer is no good and I can’t imagine returning to listen again. Would much prefer a return to more free-form Hovercraft-esque material.
