Neurot Recordings
HARVESTMAN - Music For Megaliths LP
$39.95
Includes d/l code.
Highly recommended.
I believe Steve Von Till has been condemned to walk the rest of his life being described as “that guy from Neurosis” while making good on several tonnes of other musical ideas that represent his current artistic temperament far more. Oh well: here’s the guy from Neurosis, fresh from some lovely, twanging folk record in 2015, only now he’s droning and abstracting and extracting. From form to formless, he proves that we can never quite know what’s in store for his devotees, but I’m sure they’ll find something to love in this funeral march ambient record. A record of droney oscillation, Von Till seems to favour shimmering textures and doom metal adlibs to a straight up processed approach. He uses guitar riffs to supplement active, bubbling movements, recalling the psychedelic slowburn of Expo 70.
Highly recommended.
