Anti-House is perhaps Laubrock's most New York-centric band, comprised of herself on tenor and soprano saxophones, guitarist Mary Halvorson, pianist Kris Davis, bassist John Hébert, and drummer Tom Rainey.
Anti-House has, over time, grown into a band in which the writing has become more personal – after all, Laubrock moved to New York only a scant couple of years before the first record was waxed.
Group identity in hand, Laubrock's compositions reflect a wide range of formal challenges and present a contrasting, shape-shifting palette. As Rainey puts it, "each piece is its own universe," selfcontained but related facets of Laubrock's personality that are distinct and unrepeated. |
