The Assembly of Light Choir at LPR, June 2011 (more by Greg Cristman)
The Assembly of Light Choir's collaboration on The Body's All of The Waters of The Earth Turned To Blood are some of the most compelling tracks on the record. The juxtaposition of the all-female choir against The Body's rumbling low-end blasts is a study in eerie contrast, and one that continues on AoLC's debut LP.
Out August 25 on At a Loss Records, The Assembly of Light Choir's oddly apoctalyptic journey into doom and classicism begins with its first single "Transition" which features The Body's Chip King on vocals. We're premiering a stream of that song below.
In celebration of the release of the band's LP, west-coasters can look forward to a victory lap of shows with The Body and Braveyoung. All tour dates are listed below, along with that song stream.

So boring to see arms covered in tattoos. It is SO BORING.

That LPR show had featured the smelliest crowd i've ever encountered. Deodorant hasn't reach Providence RI yet.

A choir that can't sing or stay in tune to save their lives, even on record. I guess that's acceptable these days

^ if Amanda Palmer can raise $1M, these days are those of opportunity for talentless "art"

You know it's 2012 when a band with 30 members uses kickstarter to fund their record. You couldn't raise that among yourselves?? Joke

"anonymous mean shitty post about these ladies."
the band is good, the commenters all have glaring holes in their lives.

Lovely music and miserable human beings that comment on it: the story of the Brooklyn Vegan.
