WARMER THAN BLOOD

Chris Montague – electric guitar

Kit Downes – piano

Ruth Goller – electric bass

Whirlwind is delighted to announce the new project from Chris Montague for release in May 2020:

Warmer Than Blood is the new trio from critically acclaimed composer and guitarist Chris Montague (Troyka, Squarepusher, Benny Greb). It brings together pianist and ECM recording artist Kit Downes and renowned electric bassist Ruth Goller (acoustic Ladyland, Melt Yourself Down, Let Spin).

The dynamite trio have collaborated extensively in recent years establishing a distinct musical intuition and bond. Montague’s latest compositions provide a fresh sonic exploration between the three artists. The unusual mix of electric bass, piano and guitar creates spellbinding soundscapes of dark textures, visceral pools of harmony, kinetic improvisation and percussive prepared piano. WTB perform the kind of music that lingers in the ears long after the tune has ended. At once foreboding and tender, composed with a scathing intricacy that belies its emotional breadth.

The band will be touring Europe extensively in May of 2020 and the album will be released on all formats (CD / DL / 180 gram vinyl).

Stay tuned for more info coming soon
