about

"While others might take such a crescendo/decrescendo formula into predictable and colorless valleys, Rope frame their pieces as a yet unresolved conflict between flesh and phantom." -- The Wire

Debut by the Polish duo of Przemyslaw Chris Drazek (acoustic guitars) and Robert Iwanik (electric bass, trumpet, vocals) known as Rope. Originally released on cassette in Poland, Family Vineyard reissued the EP after the two relocated to Chicago.

While drum-less, the two create an inverse of the crushing weight through trance-like acoustic guitar picking coupled with deep valleys of silence, distant trumpet, light drones, and Iwanik's soothing bass. Drazek's amplified acoustics can jab like John Cale's final ecstatic strokes during The Velvet Underground's "European Son" or awaken the spirit of Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda.
