… Read Full Bio ↴Detachment Kit was an American post-rock band from Brooklyn, New York.
It was born of the bandmembers' desire to express their musical disassociation with everything around them. While they embrace and support the current independent sonic palette, they see themselves as an inherently conceptual band that is separate from the readymade confines of scenes, labels and genre-specific musical movements.
As singer Ian Menard said:
"I think we are relative to the current indie scene, but we're not card carrying members of any particular genre. Actually, my card is all maxed out. What we are looking for is debt relief."
Ian Menard (guitar and lead vocals) and Charlie Davis (guitar) are the constructors of Detachment Kit.
On Of This Blood (Frenchkiss Records), the highly-anticipated follow-up full-length to their 2002 debut They Raging Quiet Army, Ian handled guitars, drums, and vocals while Charlie pulled double-duty playing guitar and bass.
The touring version of Detachment Kit included a rhythm section comprised of Michael Hamilton (drums) and Bryan Mayer (bass guitar).
Of This Blood was recorded in two weeks time at Steve Albini's studio, Electrical Audio, in Chicago, IL, the same one where the band spent all of one day recording their first album.
The album focuses on themes of isolation, anxiety, triumph, loss, and hope.
According to Charlie, their songs are "short stories that Ian and I make up when we drink together and sometimes when we drink alone." Ian describes their music as "developmentally challenged." Charlie's description, "We play rock and roll. The awesome kind."
