Mice Parade

The experimental post-rock of New York’s Mice Parade, aka Adam Pierce, blends live instrumentation, layers of overdubs, and intricate percussion right into a distinct, playful sound. Mice Parade’s 1998 debut one, My Crazy Friend Scott, presented Pierce’s genre-bending design, which he extended on with this year’s full-length debut, THE REAL Signifying of Boodleybaye. On 1999’s Ramda, Pierce upped the ante once again by saving the monitors and blending the album in a single take, financing it an improvised experience. The entire year 2000 noticed the discharge of Collaborations, which highlighted contributors like Curtis Harvey, Jim O’Rourke, Doug Scharin, Aki Tsuyoko, and Nobukazu Takemura. Pierce produced a loose documenting and touring music group around Mice Parade in 2001, the entire year of Mokoondi, and in addition added harmonic affects from Africa and India. Vocals had been another frontier, presented on 2004’s Obrigado Saudade and extended upon with 2005’s Bem-Vinda Vontade, 2007’s self-titled Mice Parade, and 2010’s What THIS MEANS to become Left-Handed. 2013’s Candela, called for a club in Madrid, provided Pierce’s eclectic, frequently globe-trotting influences in a few of his most available songs yet.
