Pineal Ventana

Pineal Ventana is an unusual combo formed in 1993 in Atlanta (Georgia) that plays rock music with the help of dissonance, samples, violins and saxophones. The center of gravity if Clara Clamp's singing, that borrows quite a bit from the emphatically gothic delivery of Siouxsie Sioux. Shane Pringle uses the saxophone to produce long droning sounds that harmonize with her voice. Mitch Foy beats on his drums like a madman: his tribal percussions ignite most of the band's compositions with an almost sufi whirlwind of rhythm. The guitar (Kim Chee) ends up being the least important of the instruments.
