- People Get Ready are one indie rock’s most acclaimed live acts. NPR’s Bob Boilen placing their gigs among his top 5 concerts in both 2012 and 2013, described their unique style: “Part rock concert, part performance art, part dance, all perfectly melded together. Having seen so many dudes with guitars ... it was incredibly refreshing to find a group challenging and changing the norm.” People Get Ready’s second album Physiques ramps up the band's fierce, joyful, heedless interplay; its love of big pop and trancelike slow jams and songs that fall somewhere in-between; and, above all, its devotion to PLEASURE. Though based in Brooklyn, this record was produced by Deerhoof's Greg Saunier at one of New York City’s first “alterative art spaces,” the Clocktower Gallery just before its renovation into condos. Consider Physiques a tribute to and last gasp from a more lovely time when art ran free in downtown Manhattan. Of course, since it was made in 2013, most of the people who worked on the record live in Brooklyn and came from America's more idealistic Western frontier: People Get Ready consists of two Arizonans (Steven Reker, Jen Goma) and a Californian (James Rickman). Produced by Greg Saunier, the album began as a collection of deliberately incomplete sketches that they developed over three months of improvisation, revision and accidental magic. Steve Marion (Delicate Steve), Brian Betancourt (Hospitality, Here We Go Magic) and Ryan Seaton (Callers) guested on a few songs, and former band member Ian Chang (Matthew Dear, Body Language) played drums. Booker Stardrum, the drummer for experimental outfit Cloud Becomes Your Hand, joined the band that fall. The band came together in New York in 2009 while frontman Steven Reker was looking for new ways to combine his devotion to avant-garde movement and pop art after working with Miranda July and touring as a dancer and guitarist on David Byrne's year-long Everything that Happens tour. The band took shape around a run of shows at The Kitchen, described in the New York Times as "an experience beyond hearing music in a club or viewing a dance...a moving meditation that suggests dreams." From DIY clubs to performance spaces, adding auxiliary performers and homemade instruments or performing as a four piece--no matter the setting, their live appearances are never less than a sweaty, kinetic party. Starting their succession of albums recorded in unconventional settings, their first LP was made at Denniston Hill, an artists' retreat in the Catskills cofounded by Julie Mehretu — her painting, Renegade Delirium, graces the album's cover. Production duties were handled by composer/arranger/performer Jherek Bischoff. Brassland, the label cofounded by Bryce and Aaron Dessner of The National, released the self-titled album in the fall of 2012. Nurtured by and connected to several generations of America's hyper-creative bleeding edge of multi-hyphenate musicians/artists/makers, People Get Ready challenge what it means to be a band.
