The Middle Eight

The Middle Eight makes music for your brain and your ears. The New York-based outfit brings classical sensibilities to an indie rock context, building textured, even orchestral layers of sound. STRANGE LOOP, their newest release, is an exploration of sonic combinations that is at once catchy and unpredictable, drawing on influences ranging from Romantic sonatas to 1970s art-rock. Members: Jason Olshan - Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar Steve Plekan - Bass & Backing Vocals David McTiernan - Keyboards & Backing Vocals Tallin Lamonaca - Drums & Percussion

Nick Sansano (Producer of Sonic Youth, Public Enemy and others) said this: "In the musically pre fab short attention span world of pop music, The Middle Eight stands out as fearless musical renegades. They are not afraid to actually write a song, explore sonic places, and skillfully play their instruments. New music from real musicians...how novel."
