October’s NextNext Music festival showcases the next generation ofmusicians who, in the spirit of the Next Wave Festival, are paving radical and new musical paths.
ReichTwenty-something Ezra Reich’s unique sound has often been described as “new wave cabaret” with influences from Prince, Bryan Ferry, and the B-52’s. At the heart of hiswork are strong melodies, hooks and harmonies that bring a twist to the New York sound. His intensity, visual imagery, and aspects of spectacle in many ways stem from Reich’s fascination with the cinema of David Lynch, the paintings of James Rosenquist and the photography of Helmut Newton. Reich, son of world renowned composer Steve Reich, whose work often graces the stages of BAM, possesses a love of vintage synthesizers and choppy guitars that sets the backdrop for songs of broken love, sexual attraction, and the overwhelming power of the erotic.
