Lithics fight this impossible dreary reality with a bold minimalist vision, &#8220;Can I be myself?&#8221; A stern danceable sound that summons cut up snapshots of Su Tissue and Mark E Smith, an imagined landscape where Captain Beefheart\u00a0hits that 99 Records &#8220;Too Many Creeps&#8221; beat.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is the sound of possibility. A total collaborative vision: Aubrey Hornor&#8217;s stark stilted vocals intoning over her and Mason Crumley&#8217;s wired guitar parts, like lightbulb flashes and the whir of insects unspooled and playing off each other. Bob Desaulniers&#8217; basslines give both structure and dissonance to the endeavor, and along with Wiley Hickson on drums, this is a rhythm section recalling\u00a0art-damaged yet danceable noise made in the detritus of failing cities in the late 70s\/early 80s (The Lower East Side, Cleveland, Manchester&#8230;).
