Seductive Sprigs

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Some songs can seduce you into a sense of comfort and ease. The songs of Seductive Sprigs do not do that. They are aggressively angular, disorienting, and played with concentrated precision. And yet they do seduce the listener into an intimate relation to the music by demanding attention and provoking thought. Brooklyn-based musicians Matthew Hough and Charlie Looker both sing and play electric guitars. In Seductive Sprigs they blend their voices and guitars into an intricately interwoven web of restless music that will surely snare some new listeners as they perform their songs in the WNYC studio, and talk about their music with host David Garland.
