About
Biography
Spires That in the Sunset Rise have been unsettling and thrilling audiences for over a decade now with their brand of sonic alchemy. Combining traditional acoustic instruments like cello, spike fiddle and banjo with electric elements and mesmerizing chants, one can call them goth, folk, psychedelic, experimental, electronic--and it all applies. Four full length releases on labels like Secret Eye and Galactic Zoo Disk and well-received world tours have earned them comparisons to such artists as Current 93, Harry Partch, Comus, Yoko Ono and The Residents. The group is now paired down to long time members Kathleen Baird and Taralie Peterson.

Spires That in the Sunset Rise is an American Psych folk band from Decatur, Illinois.[1] The four original members of the band (Kathleen Baird, Georgia Vallas, Taralie Peterson, and Tracy Peterson) grew up together in Decatur, Illinois, eventually moving to Chicago, Illinois where they began to experiment with creating songs.[2] Drawing from experimental and multi-cultural music, they created an individual sound which they debuted on their first self-titled album 'Spires That in the Sunset Rise'. [2] The first album was created without Taralie's sister Tracy Peterson, but she soon joined the group before the making of their second album 'Four Winds the Walker.' A year later they created their third album 'This Is Fire' which today is considered one of their most accessible albums thus far. Since the release of their first album, they have contributed a different slant to the New Folk movement by incorporating avant garde influences resulting in a completely unique sound.[3] Their music has drawn comparisons to The Raincoats, Current 93, Comus, and The Ex, and they have toured throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.[3]
In 2012 the band (now a duo of long-term members Kathleen Baird and Taralie Peterson) released their fifth full-length album, 'Ancient Patience Wills It Again'[4]
