Cheer-Accident Fades Color Vinyl Edition

Cheer-Accident are the quintessential Chicago post-rock band. - Pitchfork On Fades, Chicagos premier Avant-Progressive-Post-Math-Rock act Cheer-Accident's core line-up is emboldened by a parade of musical guests - a 21st Century Wrecking Crew of the underground. Counted among the ranks of Fades best-in-class musicians are Carla Kihlstedt (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum), Dawn McCarthy (Faun Fables, Bonnie Prince Billy), Julie Pomerleau (Bobby Conn), Nils Frykdahl (Free Salamander Exhibit), Sacha Mullin (Lovely Little Girls), Bethany Schmitt (The Buttress) and engineer Todd Rittmann (Dead Rider, U.S. Maple) whose nuanced production serves as the great unifier of Cheer-Accident's most expansive, ambitious album to date. A streamlined reconfiguration of progressive (not prog) rock recalling Henry Cow & Art Bears, Soft Machine prior to Robert Wyatt's departure, The Beach Boys and Van Dyke Parks. - BBC Music Cheer-Accident is worth deliberate investigation.
