Brought together ]by the communal passion for ravaging garden sheds and cellars in a search for anything that would produce some kind of perceptible sound, in the Autumn of 1997 The Dutch Courage start rehearsing as a duo, and remained so ever since. Miss-working keyboards, filtered through home-made electronic combination of stomp boxes, usually modified to fit a specific purpose, and analogue echo-delay units provide a dense sonic texture, and an almost impalpable harmonic architecture, for extremely dilated and aerial quasi-acoustic guitar lines. Enriched, occasionally, by the use of microphones placed in the rehearsal room to capture the atmosphere, intermittingly giving sign of their presence in the form of low tones murmuring or pitch screaming feedbacks, the band builds up a solid ensemble, driven by a unique balance between the sensibility of improvisation and the set, structured, song dynamics. | |||
