Anthropods<\/strong> is the new band from American drummer and composer, Mark Holub. Holub, known mainly as bandleader of the acclaimed and Mercury Prize nominated Led Bib (www.ledbib.com) has with \u2018Anthropods\u2019 created his first project as a leader since starting Led Bib in 2003.<\/p>\n

Holub has been based in Vienna, Austria since 2012. The arrival of the coronavirus pandemic stopped all touring, all life, but gave Holub an unexpected opportunity- time to finally start his own project in Vienna, as bandleader, something he had been planning for years, but never found the time to do. For Holub, this band wasn\u2019t about creating a new Austrian Led Bib, but was a total reassessment of what he wanted to produce as a composer and bandleader. With Led Bib always being very much a collaborative project, this was the chance for Holub to start afresh, and think about what he would want to make with completely new musicians, and a fresh palette.<\/p>\n

Holub elaborates, \u201cI wanted to create something where the musicians felt free to try and determine what the band might sound like. I didn\u2019t want to be too prescriptive about where the band might go sonically. My first thought was to try and find instruments that perhaps by already being a slightly unusual grouping would make us not only sound different, but make us immediately think about where such a collection of instruments and musicians might be able to go sonically. It has been an amazing journey for myself as leader and composer, and I look forward to hearing how this band will further develop over the course of the touring.\u201d<\/p>\n

The players Holub selected include long term Vienna based collaborators, such as violinist Irene Kepl, as well as musicians like Susanna Gartmayer who appeared briefly on the latest Led Bib album, but also people Holub had met more briefly on the Viennese scene and liked their approach. Holub adds: \u201cPlaying music for me is really about people, and the way we communicate with each other. I wanted to find the right group of people to then continue to try and forge a sound together. Allowing each musician to bring their own special contribution, and thus allowing this band to create a sound which only THIS band could be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSehr interessante Kompositionen, beeindruckendes gegenseitiges Verst\u00e4ndnis der Musiker. Die perfekte Balance zwischen einer genau dosierten Auff\u00fchrungstechnik und oft offen gezeigten, aber kontrollierten Emotionen erlaubt es, in die Sch\u00f6nheit dieser Musik einzudringen. Charakteristisch ist auch ein ausgepr\u00e4gter individueller Stil, der durch sorgf\u00e4ltig kontrollierte musikalische Effekte erg\u00e4nzt wird.
