Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guitarist Ichirou Agata of Melt-Banana steps outside his band's frenetic noise rock to deliver a solo effort entirely composed of heavily processed guitar sounds and glitchy sound collages. 'Spike' eschews traditional song structures, focusing instead on playful, mechanical textures and abstract sonic improvisations.

Genres

Descriptors: improvisation, atmospheric, experimental, noisy, distorted, extreme, percussive
