If thousands

Signed to label: Chairkickers

If Thousands are :

  • Aaron M. Molina : guitars, bass, banjo, vocals, percussion, radios, children's instruments, misc. noises
  • Christian H. McShane : organs, pianos & keyboards, optigan, theremin, moog, cello, dronecordia, loops, circut benders, misc. noises

    The two began creating sounds in 2000 as an experimental music project when McShane, a classically trained vocalist and guitarist and Molina, a punk bassist, decided to abandon their known instruments and perform with instruments they had no idea how to play. They chose this path in order to seek new musical territory through a naive approach.

    The music If Thousands creates has been described as atmospheric, ambient, experimental, found sound, trance-hypnotic, noise and drone, among many others. The band resides in Duluth.

    So far, If Thousands have released 6 albums, including ‘I have nothing' ( Silber records 2005); ‘Yellowstone' ( Chairkickers 2004 ) and ‘lullaby' ( Silber records 2003 ), an album consisting of one song, recorded live in one take in one hour. They have taken part in the soundtrack of indie movie ‘Who killed Cock Robin ?'.
