Tony Renner's known for his many groups shoegazing noiseniks Ne Plus Ultra (
www.myspace.com/neplusultraultra), Tiger Mountain and now the
Art School Boys. With abstract acoustic picking and hints of free jazz and psych-folk humming alongside richly textured percussion, Renner's new group should satisfy those who like their music to be soothing and experimental. Listen to 'em at
www.myspace.com/theartschoolboys. Italy's ambient keyboard gurus
Instrumental Quarter, whose latest release is called
Traffic Jam, also play.
