Artist Information
Biography
SURREALIZED is the fusion of the wildly disparate creative sensibilities of Rob Anonymous and Kimo Muraki. Bringing an ethereal voice and a visceral, multi-instrumental relationship with the acoustic, KIMO MURAKI spent time working with artists Ed Harcourt, Fences, Aqueduct, Hallways, Soko, The Maldives, Michael Vermillion and Shawn Smith. ROB ANONYMOUS brings a savant's sense of beat and fearless mastery of the electronic, having worked with such artists as Miss Solar System, Mentats, Beehive, Fading Collection and Kevin Sawka. Joined by the crackling drumming of JAY WILSON, Surrealized's creation is an aural adventure, delivered on a wave of light and video provided by MICHAEL "FELIX" FELICETTY and MATHEW GROAT -- a spectacle beyond mere hearing -- producing an experience that is at once unearthly, yet utterly uncomplicated. Beats and bass that evoke feeling and memory, layered with guitars and banjo, whipped by brisk winds of coronet and sax, and enveloped in the warm embrace of a voice that will deliver you safely home from your journey.
