about

Hornet Leg has had many manifestations as both a bedroom and
live project for Chris Sutton (of C.O.C.O. and Dub Narcotic Sound
System). In the past, Hornet Leg has been a solo acoustic guitar
project, an electro-dance undertaking, a crushing two-person art
noise assault, a melancholy pop outfit and a personal four-track
recording enterprise. Those many incarnations have been
presented at live shows for six years. Now with Ribbon of Fear
[KLP209], the long-coming full-length debut, Hornet Leg is solidified
as a three-man punk-blues powerhouse.

Similar to the vinyl EP, The Blood Trilogy, released by K last year
[IPU116], Sutton has draped this Hornet Leg session in a delightfully
raw sound. Where The Blood Trilogy was a dark-tinged rock-n-roll
memento, Ribbon of Fear is heightened with a polyrhythmic
jamboree of tambourine, piano keys, ghoulish laughter and female
voice accompaniment. Punky twang meets doo-wop. The songs
chronicle a love for the redemptive qualities of rock and roll, and
they hit all the keynotes – including the ghostly stomp of “Night of
the Phantom,” the furious energy of “Snake Oil,” the contemplative
power pop of “Wait” and the somber cries for redemption of
“Ruined My Life.” Sutton’s crowning glory is his inspiration that is
drawn from just about anything that makes a sound.

released September 22, 2009

For this recording Hornet Leg assembled the newest line-up of
Sutton on guitar, Robert Comitz on drums and Bob Desaulniers on
bass. This trio’s live performances expose the entire musical
spectrum that Hornet Leg has been for Sutton: acapella, gospel,
pop, and blues. Ribbon of Fear is a successful attempt to record six
years of a shifting musical adventure into a cohesive, continuing
document, overlapping with grace and vitality. A diary turned into
a rock and roll mixtape.
