What do you get when you gather together Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O)))), Atsuo (Boris), Michio Kurihara (Ghost) and William Herzog into a single musical group? It appears that you get Ensemble Pearl, the latest super-group to pool their creative resources and take a stab at successfully merging more than 30 years of combined music making. The band’s first track, “Painting On A Corpse,” comes from their self-titled debut album out March 19th via Drag City. Not relying solely on monster riffs and cavernous guitars, Ensemble Pearl work instead on developing highly intricate, though no less dense, musical landscapes. Listen to the track below.
