From March 2nd to 11th, JUNO-nominated Canadian jazz
quartet, Peripheral Vision is launching their fourth album, More Songs About
Error And Shame, with a tour of Western Canada and the Yukon. Following the tour, they will have their
Toronto CD release concert on April 3rd.
Full tour details can be found below.
"A rules-breaking quartet made up of some of the best
modern players around. Fast-paced, intricate, and inventive" (CBC),
Peripheral Vision extends their no-holds-barred performance aesthetic into the
production concept on this album. Once
again, they have teamed up with mad-scientist engineer, Jean Martin (Barnyard
Records) to orchestrate a bigger sound for the record, adding layers of
overdubs and studio treatments to the live-off-the-floor recordings. Peripheral Vision has always been a live show
band, and the seven new Herring and Scott originals on More Songs About Error
And Shame show what can be gained from years of touring, including three recent
tours throughout Europe as well as many trips across Canada.
Co-leaders Michael Herring (bass) and Don Scott (guitar)
delve into their own neurotic psyches, finding inspiration not only in music,
but also in art, literature and standup comedy.
The album title is a reference to the iconic album by famously neurotic
band, Talking Heads, and this cross genre nod is indicative of how they like to
mix genres and themes, blending classic and modern jazz, the rock music of
their youth, and non-musical influences such as the Catalonian artist Miró, and
British comedian Stewart Lee.
This is a working band with a long-time rapport - Herring
and Scott have been joined by drummer Nick Fraser and tenor saxophonist Trevor
Hogg since the band's inception in 2008.
Peripheral Vision is fuelled by this long-time musical friendship,
bringing years of tour van talks about music and life to the stage and studio,
and this dynamic group interaction creates the provocative sound of More Songs
About Error And Shame.
Peripheral Vision is:
Trevor Hogg – tenor saxophone
Don Scott – guitar
Michael Herring – bass
Nick Fraser – drums
