  SOUTHERN | hangedup
Hangedup is the Montreal-based duo of Gen Heistek (viola) and Eric Craven (drums).
Hangedup play battle hymns for shut-ins, tightrope walkers, and urban bicyclists.
Hangedup are unique operators of their chosen instruments, and have a mastered a signature sound that is well ahead, and far behind, the times.

 Hangedup - Clatter for Control
Right now, I can't think of any music better suited to reminding me of the precariousness of all this, of my delusions of warmth and safety, the ambiguous symbiosis of nature and technological humanity, etc. than Hangedup (not to mention the fact that my toes are freezing and the thermostat needs turning up).
And therein lies the problem - if "problem" it be deemed - that Hangedup's music has the unerring tendency to focus at great length on the static and inert, giving the sound of the still a sort of non-motion.
It may work best as a document of sound-paintings to be played only in the dead of winter and accorded a hushed kind of respect, but oddly, it's these aforementioned contradictions, coupled with the wholly subjective beauty of it all, that make Hangedup such a fascinating proposition, and their third album a triumph.

Hangedup - Kicker In Tow (Constellation), Exhaust - Enregistreur (Constellation), Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Hangedup is a duo featuring Gen Heistek on viola and Eric Craven on drums and percussion.
The duo's compositions range from dark pop instrumentals with a hailstorm of viola notes, to meditations on the various tones embedded in different types of percussion.

 Hangedup - Clatter for Control - Stylus Magazine
Now I’m told that Clatter for Control is Hangedup’s most melodic work to date, and if that’s true, the group must’ve kicked up a serious racket in their previous releases, because half the tracks here are unnecessarily abrasive and decidedly not melodic.
If Hangedup were enjoying themselves more on this release, rather than trying to fit in with the moody GY!BE post-rock kids and the new chic noise kids, Clatter for Control would be a special release.
Hangedup sounds totally unique, and they’re capable of making music without referents, but too often they sound like a lite version of something already done better.

THE CONSTELLATION ROADSHOW: Elizabeth Anka Vajagic, Hangedup, Polmo Polpo
Having seen Polmo Polpo and Hangedup combine into one spectacular act a few days earlier at All Tomorrow's Parties, tonight promises to be really rather special.

 Hangedup : Clatter For Control - No Karma Online Store
This is the third full-length by the viola and drums duo of Montreal's Hangedup, who've been mesmerising audiences, while pushing the boundaries of what a bow and a pair of drumsticks can conjure, since 1999.
The band has pursued a steady expansion of strategies and sonics over their 5-year history and are at the peak of their powers with Clatter For Control.
His understanding of the band's dynamics and his ability to harness the sheer layered mass of their live shows expands with every album.

 Ink 19 :: Hangedup
Clatter For Control is divided into three distinct movements, each featuring one song that provides a strong rhythmic and melodic structure that is slowly dispersed until the chaos has finally removed all semblance of the anchor song's sound.
Hangedup never reach the bombastic heights of Godspeed; they don't even make an attempt.
It works to the duo's benefit, because the sounds they are able to accomplish inspire a level of intimacy that Godspeed's canopy of noise lacks.

ounding like a deranged jug band from hell, Hangedup has made a giant leap with their second album into both a more accessible and eminently more enjoyable work.
The group consists of Genevieve Heisteck and Eric Craven on viola and drums, respectively.
This is exactly the case, however, on Hangedup’s sophomore record.

 HangedUp - Kicker In Tow - Review
They play the music for all those souls who keep the machines running and sometimes feel like a part of the machines themselves.
It has that feel to it that lives and breathes, and while many (admittingly including myself) thought that the cello/percussive duo was a one-off project recording, they were wrong.
At times krauty, at times ambient, and at others downright rock, it's another 9 tracks and 45 minutes of music made for trying to keep pace with the machine.

 HangedUp - Clatter For Control - Review
With only three instrumental touch points between two people (two sticks and a bow), the duo of HangedUp (Genevieve Heistek and Eric Craven) have amazingly now carved out three fairly-varied albums now that are comprised completely of viola and drums.
Like any group who stays together for a number of years and plays shows on a regular basis, the two have expanded and slightly changed their sound with each release, and although the changes aren't huge ones, they're interesting enough that it's worth paying attention to what they're doing.
Overall, it's another varied album from the group with several highs and only a few lows.

 Hangedup : Kicker in Tow - No Karma Online Store
One of the many acts who get extra attention by virtue of even knowing the members of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Hangedup deserve all those kudos and a million more.
With just a drum set and a violin, the spacious production creates an intense sound that out-rocks plenty of distorted four-chord hits.
Plenty of disjointed, polyrhythmic chaos is thrown in for a thrilling adventure-ride of an album.
