Spires That in the Sunset Rise is the musical collaboration of Kathleen Baird, Taralie Peterson, Tracy Peterson, and Georgia Vallas. Steeped in primal experimentalism and world eclecticism, the music is a repellent and magnetizing swarm of harps, guitars, cello, drums, harmonium, banjo, mbira, spike fiddle, bells, and vocals.
Now based in Chicago, Illinois, the four musicians have been playing music in different formations for over 10 years. Through these relationships, the music has evolved into a synthesis of various influence, with an arduous search of the unexamined (albeit darker sides) of folk music.
