The debut release from 100 Portraits, Time Will be the Tell brought them virtual fame in underground music circles. Blending of female and male vocals with a backbone of creative percussion and gorgeous mellow electric guitar.
Their second independent masterpiece, Five Wise Virgins has received high praise from the national press. Experimental in nature, the project leads the listener through different worlds of folk and rock sounds, with flavorful percussion and tasteful guitar distortion, anchored by acoustic guitar and vivid lyrics. Male and female vocals interchange.
The original debut album from 100 Portraits "Time Will Be The Tell" was released in early 1995. The couple, Ben and Robin Pasley, dropped off the audio masters to the duplicators the day of their wedding: November 5, 1994. From that point they went on to tour over 6 years together, 125+ dates a year, mostly on college campuses, bars, and music stages where general market gatherings provided a place for spiritual dialogue. This "Remix" album brings the talents of several of Ben's friends together who combined, contorted, and further energized the original tracks into a brand new recording that moves from deconstructed electronica to ambient groove-rock! Not to be missed, especially by anyone who digs the Pasley's songwriting.
