Biography

Members of Blonde Redhead (Toko Yasuda), Native Nod (Chris Leo), and Greyhouse (Neil O’Brian) formed The Van Pelt several years ago and spread their gospel to the world. Chris Leo’s flurry of spoken word vocals swims in a sea of guitar lines. The myriad of tempos and moods make “My Bouts with Pouncing,” from their second full-length, Sultans of Sentiment, are tough to figure out but certainly easy to listen to, over and over and over. “His Saxophone is My Guitar” is a straightforward rocker closer to the emo roots of the band’s founders. It was released on the band’s debut album, Stealing From Our Favorite Thieves in 1996.
