 From I Heart Lung's official bio:

---

I Heart Lung grew up in California. It is the child of drummer Tom 
Steck and guitarist Chris Schlarb. They feed it back and beat it 
freely. An organized/open duet of choke-like intensity and sometimes 
raging quiet. Solemnity in space and seraphim, I Heart Lung recorded 
their first album in two hours in what is now an abandoned building. 
They were supposed to do Africa but were sent north. Their first 
performance was a headlining affair (that LA Weekly pronounced as, 
"one of those legendary gigs you only hear about 10 years later") at 
which the Pink Mountaintops' Stephen McBean bespoke of drummer Steck 
as a "force of nature." Others agreed. I Heart Lung exists within a 
textural dimension between drone rock and free jazz.

Currently the group is prepared to release a split 12" featuring two 
new songs from the Castanets on one side and three new tracks from I 
Heart Lung on the other. The two bands will embark on a US tour along 
with Wooden Wand & Vanishing Voice beginning in July wherein I Heart 
Lung will pull double duty as backing band for the Castanets. In 
addition to having already performed at the SoCalSonic festival of 
experimental music and having been noted as such by publications such 
as the Wire and LA Weekly the group will focus their next project on 
a collaboration with Chicago based musician/label curator John 
Kannenberg.
