self titled EP
Sainte Chapelle is Dan Schneider and Gary Pyskacek (both of Pedal Steel Transmission) fleshing out ideas and molding improvisations. The group formed in 2000 to release it's self titled EP for Cardboard Sangria Records, a collection of 5 improvised pieces recorded in a weekend following a mind-bending monthlong trip to Europe, and the necessary withdrawal from life that followed.
"...It's an engaging, post-folky set that's not afraid to bang down doors when necessary.
THE ONION
"...simple, repetitive, folky music that's modestly ambitious but nicely effective at setting a wistful, pastel-shaded mood. The blues-derived but not bluesy fingerpicking of Nick Drake is the most obvious influence on Schneider's guitar playing, which dominates Sainte Chapelle's sound. "What Do We Call Love?" is from their upcoming "Soon to Fail," as is the lovely instrumental "In Search of Skip."
