Ghq has existed over the years with various members, but has always been the core duo of steve gunn and marcia bassett. since getting together in 2002 they have brought their acoustic / electric freeflow to various heights and their performances have had the history of taking on different forms on any given night. their range can be from blown out freeform, pre-war blues covers to quiet acoustic raga cycles. currently the group is back as the duo of marcia and steve, with occasional drumming help from jon trusinski.
TLR 053: ghq — everywhere at once CD
released march 3, 2008 as an installment in the oscillation III series. sold only as a part of the set.
late in 2007 the core ghq duo of marcia bassett and steve gunn set off to jason meagher's black dirt studios to settle in for some multi-tracked studio action. joined by john truscinski of x.o.4 on drums, the trio laid down a series of layered drones unlike anything else in their catalog. After the disc-opening "Rembrance" sets the proper mood, the group kicks into "Four Trees" and establishes a new standard by which their stretched-out drones will be measured. In a collection of chilling recordings, the hazy and aching "Drop City Blues" shines bright with Gunn stepping forward to provide a set of extremely focused vocals. Everywhere at Once is a new and exciting milemarker along the band's continued ascent.
