Joe Turner has always sung and played a variety of instruments, so when his previous outfit Abunai! called it quits after five years, he got off their drum stool and back to work on some new sounds of his own. He had plenty of inspired experience to draw on, having performed with The Lilys, Barbara Manning, Damo Suzuki (Can), Brother JT, and Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond), as well as several times with the Boston Rock Opera. Joe's song contributions to Abunai! had left a clue as to the layered, melodious urges that he'd been harboring. After the "small" distraction of organizing the universally-loved Terrastock 5 festival was over, he began to make a year and half of unemployment worthwhile by focusing on his new solo sounds. The result was Between Two Seconds, an album that runs a wire-length between meditative gauze-rock and full-on rocking psychedelia. Special guest Levels on the album include: Bill Doss (of Olivia Tremor Control and The Sunshine Fix), Sam Mixon (The Sunshine Fix), Heather McIntosh (Circulatory System), Brendan Quinn (Abunai!), and Mark Dwinell (Nonloc, Bright). The group's regular lineup consists of: Joe Turner (guitar, lead vocals), Michael Braga (guitar), Carolyn Corella (bass), Carl Harkness (drums), Dan Parmenter (piano), and Joel Simches (organ/synth).
