Since 2013, Rooms has made steady progress exploring the limits of tonality, rhythm, and orchestration. The nine tracks on their newly released album, Vigil, engage an aesthetic that ranges from oceanic ambience to fiery free jazz to knotty atonality. Tonight, the group celebrates Vigil, their strongest effort yet, by reinterpreting selections from the album and debuting new work.
“They move between disruptive rhythmic tactics and simpatico performances that deliver a stunning unified sound… in a deep improvised-music scene, Rooms is clearly emerging as a significant new force”
– Peter Margasak – Chicago Reader

The Chicago-based duo Sun Speak comprises longtime collaborators Matt Gold (guitars) and Nate Friedman (drums and percussion). Since the 2014 release of their debut recording Light Blue Light, Sun Speak has continued to solidify a compositional voice encompassing folk, jazz, and experimental music. Their new EP Sacred Rubble is out this fall on Ears & Eyes Records.

“Outstanding.” — Dee Perry, NPR
“…a duo that can throttle forward, then reveal compositional sophistication that’s just as engrossing.” — Nextbop
