The Last Town Chorus (www.thelasttownchorus.com) lives in Brooklyn, New York. Comprising Megan Hickey, voice and lap steel guitar and Nat Guy, acoustic guitar, their sound is as sparse as that line-up suggests, and yet almost mesmeric in the soundscapes created. Whatever your preconception of electric lap steel guitar, prepare to hear something new and haunting on their eponymous first album. The Village Voice described the music as “Moody, warm like old-fashioned lemonade spiked with LSD…a good example how minimal can be used to create multiple sounds.” They’re heading for Europe in March and Barry Jones spoke to Megan in Brooklyn and talked about the music and their plans.
