ALCIAN BLUE

Alcian Blue is a psychedelic, shoegazer band from Washington DC.  The group has played with the current line up of Sam Chintha, Jacob Reid, Clark Stacy and Matt Welch since the summer of 1999.  Following a 4-track demo and a string of shows, the band began to work on an ongoing recording project in the spring of 2000. The culmination of these sessions was released in late 2001 as Slow Colorless Stare on the band's own Safranin Records.  Alcian Blue's sound is derived from a mix of artists such as My Bloody Valentine, The Cocteau Twins, Sonic Youth, Aphex Twin, Steve Reich, and Brian Eno.  LEFT OFF THE DIAL reviews and interviews are below.
