Genre: Alternative Rock
The title of Luder's 2009 debut, Sonoluminescence, referred to sound waves reacting on passing through a substance to create light - sort of a long way around to expressing the illumination the four players felt came through their collaborating, but fitting. Progressive, psychedelic, stylistically intricate, the album was recorded and mixed by Eric Hoegemeyer at Rustbelt Studios and mastered by Chris Gooseman. Comprising 10 songs that effectively blended Luder's diverse influences, tracks flowed seamlessly from driving dark prog to languid shoegazing, bassist Sue Lott's vocals tying pieces together with the apparent effortlessness of a virtuoso. So it is four years later, on Luder's follow-up, Adelphophagia. Another research-worthy title - this one relating to the phenomenon of one embryo consuming another in utero - and another deeply varied collection of textural, smooth, frequently heavy rock and roll that has as much in common with Portishead as it does with Black Sabbath. Sue, Phil, Scott and Eric once again recorded with Hoegemeyer (who also contributes piano, backing vocals, percussion, etc.), and as well as boldly taking on David Bowie's 1997 single, "I'm Afraid of Americans," the album pushes Luder's creative breadth further; new, dominant ideas and methods consuming others over a years-long writing period to become the expansive scope of "Dirge" or the grunge-y attitude-drenched kissoff "Never Liked You." Luder find room to balance their love of classic prog in "KrautJam" with an organic songwriting sensibility - the sweet melodies of it's chorus are as memorable as they are exploding with color. Shows are sporadic, but Luder has shared the stage with Kyuss Lives!, Fu Manchu, Lo-Pan, Freedom Hawk, Lord Fowl, Suplecs, Dixie Witch, House of Broken Promises, Gozu and many others. As Luder come into their own on Adelphophagia, look to catch them on stage periodically and expect to be consumed by their warm and eerily welcome wash.
