A Lull

With the release of Ice Cream Bones, an EP, in May of 2009, A Lull was a band that was confident, but was somewhat still searching for its sound. After countless more hours in practice spaces, basements and bedrooms, A Lull kept at it, and after over seventy-five songs and partial song ideas, something began to take shape. In May of 2010, A Lull released “Weapons For War/Spread It All Around,” a vinyl and digital single from its upcoming full-length record, Confetti.

Using a mixture of conventional and non-traditional recording techniques, A Lull employs anything and everything available to create beats, melodies, textures and layers of sound. The music is experimental in the ways that it takes form, but is accessible and captivating.

While writing and recording Confetti, A Lull has played extensively in its hometown of Chicago as well as around the Midwest and the rest of the country with a focus on the East Coast and most recently Austin, Texas for SXSW 2010.

A Lull plans to release Confetti later in 2010 and the band will continue to tour, with local dates throughout the summer and national dates scheduled in August.

What the Internet and others have been saying about A Lull:

“Chicago avant-pop sextet A Lull have a full-length scheduled to drop later this year; in the meantime, they’ve made a 7”, “Weapons For War/Spread It All Around”, available for free download over at their MySpace. The A-side features pounding, layered percussion and warm vocalizing." Pitchfork
