Something of a meditative flow that feels more important than whatever he is playing at a given moment. Occasional monolithic phrases and delicate shaping of feedback sculpt time. errantzephyr
An incredible Artist, Noveller paints with sounds using pedals and settings as colours and Brushes and the guitar as the Canvas. Arrow is a wonderful journey every single track takes you somewhere. Airfoilelfmen
This double tape from Violent Squid showcases a dizzying array of sounds, including sci-fi analog synths & dazzling guitar instrumentals. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 24, 2021
Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
