Performer Magazine reviews “A Tiny Gleam of Light”
The following is the 1st review for “A Tiny Gleam of Light” from the June issue of Performer. Also found at www.performermag.com. Just download the free pdf of the issue-
The latest from Brice Woodall and the Positrons plays like a free trip to the edges of the atmosphere. While Woodall’s voice and elegantly wrought key- board lines could easily be enough to lead a listener through such a record, the extra punch from the rest of the band does great things for the sound. The contrast between the eerie synthesized treble and classic rock instruments constructs a complex bio- mechanical sonic sphere that’s all-over charming and at points stunning.
Opener “45 Degrees” epitomizes the playful side of Woodall’s songwriting (complete with whistle solo). It begins as somewhat tinny electropop, lyrically endearing and catchy, and evolves into a fully realized soundscape with the inclusion of well-mixed bass and drums midway through. Woodall’s vibrato sounds fantastic swathed in the organic overtones of the low end as he carries the song to its finish.
Several moments of the EP push it beyond the charms of its genre. “Trampoline” floats high above the rest of the tracks as the record’s zenith. Through its simplicity it becomes utterly ethereal. It sounds as though someone took all the weight out of a Portishead track and let it fly away like a lost balloon. Woodall’s voice and synth cycle through the strato- sphere completely unburdened by anything real. It’s an out-of-body experience, a departure from the weight of materiality, innocent and carefree and gor- geous. It’s a three and a half minute visit to a swing’s zero-gravity peak.
A Tiny Gleam of Light is a lovely little adventure waiting to happen: an otherworldly excursion on the jets of six delicately constructed folktronica tracks. Forget the world and go. (Self Released) XSasha Geffen

Sea of Knives
I recorded this at my desk at home here in Chicago. It’s part of a series of songs that happened in my head while sleeping.

Return of the Brick-
We all know about the CD release and recording in RVA getting cancelled. Well(!), now I’m heading to Brooklyn that week (March 31-April 5) to play around in my friend’s studio and play @ a loft party. The quick turn around. More deets tba. But I’ll definitely have the new album (and stickers people) in hand. Or in a bag of some sort. Thanks Trevor and Mark.
