VERDIN BROTHERS

Verdin Brothers is a collaborative project between multi-instrumentalists Peter (St. John’s, NL), Andrew and Mark Verdin (Minneapolis, MN). Building from a foundation of steel-string guitar, upright bass, and percussion they play deranged instrumental folk music that blends elements of American Primitive guitar, traditional string band, musique concrète, and soundscape compositions. With a fascination for the occult and a keen ear for melody and unique instrumentation, their music is an alembic in which the traditional is transmuted into the experimental, where in pursuit of the celestial monochord they track the crooked byroads of folk and linger in its dark pockets and eerie configurations.
