Exhaust (band)

Exhaust is a Canadian trio from Montreal featuring bass, drums, tape and bass clarinet, that started in the mid-1990s. The members are Aidan Girt (drums), Gordon Krieger (bass/ bass clarinet) and Mike Zabitsky (tape loops).[1]

History

Exhaust's first release was the limited release cassette 230596. Their debut LP Exhaust, (later reissued on CD) was one of the first releases on the then-fledgling Constellation Records label.[2] The album was recorded at partly at Hotel2Tango in Montreal, and partly at Mom and Pop Sounds. The ten tracks consisted of 34 minutes of eclectic experimental rock music played by Girt and Krieger, augmented by Zabitsky's studio effects and audio samples.[3][4]

A second album, Enregistreur, was released in 2002; a synthesis of low bass riffs, bass clarinet, drumming, speech and machine noise samples,[5] it was described in the Austin Chronicle as a "clattering collage of broken wires and cold urban filth".[6] A third album Grenadilla Splinters was released December 2011.[7]
