About Escape-ism (Ian Svenonius)
Escape-ism is the latest guise of Ian Svenonius (Nation Of Ulysses, Make-Up, Weird War, Chain & The Gang & XYZ).
Introduction to Escape-ism is a bite into a one-banana bunch. A drum box, a guitar, a cassette player, and a single slobbering, sinful voice singing out…for a way out. Live, it’s a new paradigm of performance: raw, gestural, idiotic, sublime, revolutionary, poetic, faux naïf, unknowing, a drainage pipe that leads to who knows where.
