Ahleuchatistas are a duo from Asheville, North Carolina, with Shane Perlowin on guitar and Ryan Oslance on drums. In recent times, the music has shifted towards an evolved doom psychedelia, what the New York Times called “a sort of heatstroke minimalism”, with stretched moments of sustained tension creating a hypnotic effect. There are strong currents of Chinese music, African music, western classical music, electronica, and ambient/noise in the new direction, with a punk rawness and intensity.
The earlier works of the band reflect the progressive rock roots of the original lineup of Shane Perlowin on guitar, Derek Poteat on bass, and Sean Dail on drums. On these recordings, older listeners might note a passing resemblance to Captain Beefheart’s work in the late ’60s and early ’70s—especially Troutmask Replica.
Ahleuchatistas has released two album on John Zorn’s Tzadik label, and two albums on Cuneiform Records. Both labels are small, somewhat obscure, but extremely prestigious. The first Ahleuchatistas album, On the Culture Industry, was released in 2003 by Angura Sound, a small, now defunct, label that was run by friends of the band. The album is currently out of print, but easily available online for free.
“There’s noise and fire in their playing, but most of these tunes are also studded with signposts, demanding close attention and clear execution.”
The New York Times
“It’s the kind of musical tug-of-war that sounds as jagged as it is graceful…”
