The first release of David Cintron solo music since the “No On” full length (Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp: May 2019.) While “No On” explores slow building soundscapes, The “Leroy Tick e.p.” is mainly focused on more tightly structured shorter instrumental pieces.
Mantissa is the fifth release by Cleveland soundscape abstractionists.

The show, scheduled for April 3, 2020 in Cleveland, didn’t happen due to a worldwide pandemic tour shutdown. The band did get together and play weekly in anticipation of the engagement. Enjoy this playlist of tracks from those sessions. Improvised and recorded live, with no overdubs, at Biological Basement in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp: May 2019
“Back in 2011, Cleveland musician David Cintron made his first solo album after years playing with vital rock bands including Terminal Lovers and Scarcity of Tanks. No On, originally issued in an edition of 100, dealt not in rock riffs but elongated tones and dense drones created with guitar and electronics. Now reissued digitally, the album still sounds mesmerizingly dense and thoughtful. There’s a lot going on in the two 22-minute tracks, but Cintron never sounds rushed—in fact, the patience of his drones make you want to get your ears closer to the speakers so you can hear all the subtle changes and gradual arcs he weaves. There’s a space-bound feeling to these pieces—reflected in titles “Through the Center” and “Outer Rim”—but it’s not sci-fi music. It’s sound for inward exploring.”

I’m very excited to play with Brendan Canty’s new band Messthetics. Brendan and Joe are a phenomenal rhythm section, formally of Fugazi, teamed with guitarist Anthony Pirog to form this excellent instrumental unit. Terminal Lovers will be playing a rare Cleveland show, and will be featuring new material from their forthcoming release.
