Typhoon ripped through One Eyed Jacks in the New Orleans French Quarter last Saturday (3/15/14) and unloaded a sonic storm on local eardrums. The eleven piece band from Portland, known for beautiful arrangements and radical shifts in pace and structure, produced a veritable deluge of sound. With the release of their second LP, White Lighter (Roll Call Records), Typhoon has been a band on the rise.
Coming directly from SXSW, where the band played three highly praised shows, Typhoon showed no signs of being road weary. Frontman/Singer/Lead Guitarist/Maestro Kyle Morton stood confident before his orchestra and delivered a Category 5 performance for the ages. Seeing all those musicians on stage, perfectly in harmony, each exactly where he or she should be, was truly a sight and sound to behold. They soared through the gorgeous song 'Artificial Light', Morton achingly spelling out his frustration with the mysteries of the universe. They jammed out 'Dreams of Cannibal', a foot stomping, often group sung ode to relative innocence. They carefully stepped through 'Possible Death', a lyrically short yet deep examination of ambition and the preposterous lack of control we have in a universe filled with billion year old stars. ' On The Lake', Morton went through the story of his contracting Lyme disease as a child and nearing dying in brilliant form, the heavy reverb and bass filling the room and our bodies with an analogy of the pain he must have felt. Each epic song rose and fell like hurricane swells, pounding then quiet, furious then furtive, each audience member entranced, drenched.
