Altar Eagle is the tulsa, ok-based duo of eden hemming and brad rose. formed in the last throes of 2008, the two previously recorded improvised, folk-based sonics under the moniker corsican paintbrush. inspired by the likes of flaming tunes, early detroit techno and lady gaga a completely new direction was forged and a change of name was needed. the first recordings appeared on the “judo songs” cassette and were enough for type records to release AE’s debut full-length (which will come out in early september 2010).
we also record under the moniker EAGLE ALTAR, the difference being that the music is 100% improvised and recorded live-to-tape with no overdubs. the general mood and feeling is similar, but the results are not the same.
