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." - Jon DeRosa 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 .
