How can so much sound possibly come from just a violin, a guitar and a set of drums? If you don't get up and dance to this, you have no soul.

notes

Acoustic electronica: it only seems like an oxymoron to those who haven’t yet experienced the music of meniskus. The unique dynamic of the band starts with a violin and a nylon-stringed guitar - both enhanced by a barrage of effects - and gets driven by an arsenal of percussion.
The music is informed by the extensive classical training of Wright and Ostberg, as well as the unique sound Bardusco brings from his experience as a self-taught guitarist growing up in Venezuela. The three players weave all their diverse flavors into a cohesive, powerful and unique sound. The influences of popular bands like The Police, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, The Dave Matthews Band, Phish, as well as the rhythms of Latin grooves and European techno/house music have found new life in the music of meniskus.
The canon of meniskus music currently stands at nearly 50 original songs, with 12 of the best of those currently being recorded on the band’s second full-length album, “Foreign Beyond.” With the guidance of Producer John McVey and the facilities of Coupe Studios (The Fray, Rose Hill Drive, DeVotchKa), “Foreign Beyond” promises to build on the success of the band's 2005 debut release, “The Wall of Sound.” The January 2007 release of “Foreign Beyond” is being supported through a video for the single “Letters,” as well as US and European tours.

  • wall of sound

    Listened to Foreign beyond a lot and then Wall of Sound. The change is amazing. It's not often that you get to hear the beginning versions of music and then what happens to those versions after much work (and play!) Your passion and dedication is obvious and inspiring! I love it! Go forth and make more!!!

  • Can't get enough of Wall of Sound.

    Having just seen meniskus live on stage four times on Saint Patrick's Day, 2007, I keep listening to The Wall of Sound daily. I'll be out to hear their wonderful sounds Saturday, too. Look out, Europe! Here they come.

  • Sooo Hot by far the sexiest music I've ever heard

    I just saw you guys in Keystone, When I heard Eric whaling on that violin I started to sweat couldn't take my eyes off of him the sound was so mesmerizing it threw me into compleat orgasim. Guys if you want to get laid just put these tunes on sit quietly and wait. Its a shoe in!

  • Love the Love

    I remember the great road head I got while listening to a freshly recorded "Never Ending" On my way back from Boulder to Denver. Cant wait to hear the new stuff guys. Jennings

    They simply rock. Try listening to nightly erotic sitting still. It's impossible, it makes you groove with it.

  • The most unique album I've heard in years.
    author: Ron

    Wall of Sound is heavy on instrumentals - but the instrumentals rock so hard, that you just don't care. I heard they're going back to the studio this year, and can't wait to hear what they come up with to follow up this great album!

  • I do everything to this album.... that's right EVERYTHING.
    author: ADIDAM-all day i dream about meniskus.

    I drive to and from tae-bo with it on non-stop. I fish, cook, eat, sleep, masturbate, shower and breathe to this album. I've gone through 5 CD's in the last year from overuse (not from overmasturbating). I recently bought them out of current stock, so I'll never run out again, and have plenty of Labor Day Presents. I actually have one CD playing through my powerbook right now and another perfectly in unison blaring through my stereo in the next room. I write haiku about Meniskus. I will someday sleep with all of them. Buy this disc.

  • The only CD in my car for months!

    I listen to wall of sound every singly day since i got it. I work in a busy emergency room in denver, and listen to this CD on my way to work, as well as ALL THE TIME!
