Howard Stelzer and Brian Grainger are Extra. 'Hard/Rainbow,' Extra's second album, was made manifest in the Summer of '22.
The band's debut release was 'Draw/Orb' issued at Finlay Shakespeare's GOTO imprint in England, and by the time it was published in March of '23, a flurry of several different Extra albums already surrounded it. With all of those albums currently awaiting publication at various different labels around the globe, the band felt it pertinent to establish a Bandcamp page for themselves, to provide a platform for self-released music and limited physical editions.
With the release of 'Hard/Rainbow' the Extra imprint has arrived, with this and all subsequent self-released works being distributed by the non-label 'and so on.'
'Hard/Rainbow' is the band's sophomore effort, and follows directly the path initiated by 'Draw/Orb' into ever stranger landscapes of surrealist assemblage and synthesized pointillism, a recording made in the long traditions of headphone music and deep listening.
Please enjoy, and so on.

It's as if I'm standing in a foggy field, but I can feel the sun warming me still, somehow, despite the sky being completely cloudy and overcast. Stranger still, I'm content here, not afraid or even curious, but happy to just stand still, surrounded by the alien warmth. Then, I close my eyes, as if to look inward, into some deeper space and time beneath the terrestrial, an ink black sky under the Urth, opening downward. At last, a voice, barely emanating from a small radio - contact. Tom Rimshot
