Exploration of sound and innovative collaboration of music is the philosophy behind The Stove. Originally formed in 1997, producer Eduard Glukhov evisioned a single cell orchestra. Proving the fact that you don't need a bass player or a drumer to be a band. The Stove is nearly uncatagorizable because their sound ranges from trip-hop to jazz to ambient to jungle. Needless to say, they are extremely haunting with hypnotically dark rhythms. Fronted by songstress Kristen Muirhead, The Stove relies on her muse-scream/siren-dream/angel-cre voice with beautifully integrated harmonies. Accompanied by classically trained violinist Katya Murafa, who delicately decorates the music with her eastern European gypsy accents. Deeply influenced by Aphex Twin, Portishead, Ninja Tune, Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos and Bjork. The Stove is an artistically futuristic combination of organic and electronic sounds!!!
