Kenseth Thibideau of such critically lauded bands as
Tarentel,
Rumah Sakit, and
Thingy leads
Howard Hello in intricate, indie rock ambience. Playing experimental music that would suit
Steve Reich and
Brian Eno, the acoustic guitars, synthesizers, and Wendy Allen's angelic vocals yield haunting songs that cross
Papa M,
Songs: Ohia, and
Jim O'Rourke with
Tortoise.
After moving to San Diego in 2001, Thibideau hooked up with
Marty Anderson of
Dilute and Wendy Allen of
the Court & Spark. The trio formed
Howard Hello to create twisted but intimate sounds. The group's self-titled debut was released on Temporary Residence in March of 2002. ~ Charles Spano
