FLESH CAR released their debut self-titled album today via Tough Lover. And the band will perform a record release show on Saturday, June 8 at The Barkley in Pasadena, CA. The new project from acclaimed musician (Shudder to Think) and film / tv composer (Yellowjackets) Craig Wedren and longtime collaborators Jherek Bischoff and Jacob Richards has been described by Richards as “stream-of-consciousness improvised experimental rock.” Flesh Car was recorded at Wedren’s Pink Ape studio where they improvised for hours over the course of a weekend with no definitive plan, and the final album was recorded all in one take.

While their setup is ever evolving, you can usually find Wedren on vocals and processing, Richards on Drums, and Bischoff on baritone guitar and synths. Joined by Bo Boddie who helped with set up, they recorded the sessions and thought that they would just release the video so people could see what they were doing, given that it’s so much about the moment. “When the sessions were over and we listened back, we all agreed that this set best captured what we were up to that weekend,” noted Wedren. “Upon repeated listens and as we started mixing, it felt like the music stood nicely on its own.” The album was mixed by Bischoff and Randall Dunn.
In addition to the show with Flesh Car, Wedren will perform with a string quintet of some of the material found on his recent album, The Dream Dreaming, as part of Joe Wong’s residency at Zebulon on Tuesday, June 11.
