Bio
We formed Crinoline with the intent of producing evocative, dynamic energy in spite of the ordered, linear constructions of the now. We try to be innovative yet classic; ordered yet spontaneous. Our philosophy tends toward minimalism, but moves away from the usual patterned schema of the trite.
Originally, we were involved in quasi-formalistic proto-classical illusionism, but our music gradually evolved into a highly personal, luministically neo-environmental vision. We've also mastered 4 chords!
The band has now achieved a heightened, hieratic effect while maintaining a primitive, volumetric simultaneity. The tonality of our songs has reminded people of the archetypal and geometric work of the early harmonic mesoliths. In fact, we've been told that we resemble a cross between the Starland Vocal Band, X-Ray Specs, and moose mating!
Lyrically, we try to use mannered, graphic nuances which are painterly in their effect and optical in their symbolism. The semiotics embodied in our "ars poetica" reveals gestural tendencies and perceptual iconography. The words sometimes rhyme, too!
