For his second album on hymen, the endless procession, ginormous bryan konietzko digs deep into a passion for stringed instruments. I took electric guitar lessons for years, learning pink floyd solos and janes addiction and stuff, notes bryan, whose creative endeavors extend beyond music to being co-creator of the animated tv series avatar: the last airbender. That said, the endless procession is hardly a rock album, it is epic music for the dynamism of a darker, more sinister world. Like gridlock, lusine icl and hecq, ginormous commingles razor-like industrial noise with atmospheric sounds, conjuring a macabre, 3-dimensional soundscape that unfolds as each moment passes. A mechanical haunting presence starts the album off on begin with the end in mind, meandering through raucous noise breaks and a hitchcockian piano theme on byproducts of stress and boredom, moments of ambient bliss on noctilucent and ominous strumming hallucinations on gleaming rows.. 4-page digipak packaging.
