WE ARE BUSY BODIES — BANDCAMP  |  INSTAGRAM

Multi-instrumental virtuoso Colin Fisher has worked with the likes of Junior Boys, Jaime Branch, William Parker, Caribou, Joe McPhee, and Laraaji to name just a few. His new solo recording Suns of the Heart (and first for We Are Busy Bodies) is a prismatic affair, variously offering listeners glimpses of a fiery soloist, a sensitive accompanist, an agile instrumentalist and an imaginative electronic colourist. Placing his heavily treated guitar front and centre, Fisher’s vision here far more expansive than on previous outings, charting a dynamic and textural range that’s as vast as it is volatile, augmented with fretless and just intonation guitars, bass, saxophone, tanbur and percussion. Electronic musician, producer and proprietor of the Halocline Trance imprint David Psutka (aka ACT! and Egyptrixx) joins as engineer, co-producer and co-composer, amplifying the scope of this body of work.
