rescue diver

Rescue Diver is the creative child of Matthew Thompson and Austin Wimbish. For the last year strange sounds, electronic beats, Latin rhythms, spastic guitars and searching vocals have been corralled into a collection of powerful music moments which will soon be known to the world as the self titled rescue diver EP. From total multi-instrumental chaos to tasteful minimalism this EP has a colorful dynamic that embodies the wanting, searching and unease of the human spirit. However, the musical debut of rescue diver is not the first creation of the duo. Previously both members founded a band that received local radio play, international television play, raved shows and music reviews, and a dedicated following of fans. The success of the musical endeavor led to fans around the world and a notice among independent labels and the independent music community. Since this music project both members Thompson and Wimbish have evolved exponentially in their musical talents and tastes. Influenced by musical greats such as Air, The Beatles, Brian Eno, The Flaming Lips, Aphex Twin and Bjork; the creation of rescue diver has lead to a diverse and obsessively detailed sound. Wimbish explains "My obsession with sound is truly the reason why I feel like I have to create music." In fact, rescue diver is always creating audio; as we speak rescue diver is in the final moments of finishing off their debut EP, which is to be widely released on January 4th. And to be followed by a major effort of promotion and showcasing their live show starting this February. The sonic landscape is infinite; and rescue diver just wants to get lost in it.
