Ethan Rose Receives New York Times Praise, Tours US

Portland, Oregon (Locust Music) - Portland, Oregon musician and sound artist Ethan Rose has announced select US tour dates in support of Ceiling Songs, an album of bindingly gorgeous electroacoustic compositions released last Tuesday, Sept. 12th, on Chicago's acclaimed Locust Music label.
This news comes on the heels of an appearance in yesterday's Sunday edition of the New York Times, in which Ethan was profiled as part of Kelefa Sanneh's regular playlist feature.
See below for the review and tour dates, and please get in touch regarding reviews/interviews, or if you'd simply like to check out one of the shows.

KELEFA SANNEH, THE NEW YORK TIMES:

"Last year this Portland, Ore., tinkerer released "Ceiling Songs," an enticing homemade album that used short sounds to create long ones. Flickering snippets of instruments - "sources include player pianos, music boxes, strings, brass, percussion & electronics," according to the liner notes - overlap and accumulate to create restless but mellow collages that sound vaguely nostalgic. Locust Music (locustmusic.com), a Chicago label that specializes in music too weird to be considered old-fashioned, is reissuing the album on CD: two long tracks and one short one, all of which function equally well as background music or as foreground music."
