On his first solo release, Fugazi bassist Joe Lally showcases the distinctive style he has developed over twenty years in the world’s foremost post-hardcore outfit; There To Here is a taut, concise statement of Lally’s unique worldview, marrying the subtle melodic innovations of his bass playing with a disarmingly direct and open vocal style. This is a record that is understated but progressive, quietly continuing to pursue the musical and ideological themes that have concerned Lally throughout his career. Featuring contributions from musicians including Ian Mackaye, Amy Farina (The Evens) and Jerry Busher (French Toast), There To Here is a fascinating project for fans of Fugazi and thoughtful, spare experimental rock in general.
