Impropera

Non Credo

Joseph Berardi- sampling, keyboards, samples

Kira Vollman- voice, bass clarinet, prollo tape, glockenspiel, hand perc., lyrics

This duo makes you believe that art rock could actually come up with something interesting. It’s what Tom Waits might do if he went wholly avant garde and it might get you to believe that Brecht/Weill still live. Not bad for just one record.  L.A.-based, Non Credo try to embrace it all and make B-movie sense of everything. Or nonsense, I should say. Refreshing, unpretentious and self-mocking, it’s not one to miss by any stretch. Vollman is a phenomenal vocalist-I think I’d rather listen to her than Diamanda Galas, who covers much the same waterfront. Berardi is equally impressive in his sphere. It’s best to not concern yourself as to whether this is pop, art rock, improv or what, just jump right in and play (in every sense).
