Martin Bisi, has been an influential NY rocker since the 80s, not only
with his own songs and musical creations, but also recording classic
albums by Sonic Youth, Material, Herbie Hancock (Rockit), Afrika Bambataa,
The Dresden Dolls, Swans, John Zorn, Helmet, White Zombie, Cop Shoot Cop,
Foetus, Serena Maneesh and Ex-Models. In his own band, Martin Bisi [band],
he plays guitar and sings. His new album veers between moody, psychedelic,
poppy and harder rock. The sound is mostly dense and rich in instruments
and multiple vocals, but then also edgy and quirky. Bisi's persona can be
raw and confrontational, as well as funny and self effacing. The songs are
mostly entertaining vignettes of love and obsession in NYC. The multiple
female characters in the songs inspired the elaborate artwork in the 20
page booklet, and the album title Sirens Of The Apocalypse.
