Nat King Tron In the Presence of Peasants

Nat King Tron (aka the band) has just self-released our second record entitled “In the Presence of Peasants,” an off-the-cuff document of two days of improvised musical experimentation. The tracks were culled from about 10 hours of material, all recorded, engineered, and mastered by our friend Peter Richan at his Buckeye Recording Studio in South Philly. Many thanks also are due to Kara Schlindwein for creating the packaging design with absolutely no direction from us (talk about your difficult client).
The other players in the trio are John Schlicter (aka Sarge), long-time collaborator, Six Acre Lake co-founder, guitar and effects maestro; and Matt Lee (like the General) who wails on alto saxophone, effects, and the bleeps and blips. “In the Presence of Peasants” explores a pretty diverse range of territory, shifting genres and dynamics: indie/math rock, electronic, experimental, metal, jazz. At moment we’re developing our live set to encompass equal parts composed and improvised material.
Easter Bunny is available for download, or you can stream some other tracks from the new release at our page on Mr. Murdoch’s MySpace. Up to date info on our movements can also be found at www.natkingtron.com.
