Remora's guitar terrorism
relies on the more drone-based school of thought, where the most interesting
sounds come from minimalist structure and repetition. Unlike some of the
more well-known ambient/noise guitarists, who rely on obtrusive noise and
piercing tones, Remora makes effective use of tonality which is surprisingly
soothing despite the noisy overtones. When vocals are used, they haunt
each song beneath the mix, overrun by a million guitar strings." -

a brief introduction to Remora
Remora began in 1996 with a
web of cassette releases that utilized the guitar to create ambient walls
of sound, rather than melodic passages. In recent years, Remora has shifted
from pure guitar noise into songs incorporating the sounds discovered over
the time spent exploiting the use of effects.
Enamored is
Remoras first full length release in four years. Its post-apocalyptic
pop music. Love songs from a revolutionary ready to abandon his war grasping
for hope. Lyrically inspired by pulp sci-fi from the 1970s, songs like
Volcana, Champion, Kill My Way Out of Here, & Out of Air paint
portraits of love being the same after the crash of society while struggling
to stay alive as it is now & as it was 3,000 years ago.
Remora has a new project
called Remora Prime where people perform songs from the Remora live set
locally. Download the word document songbook here .
