Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inventive guitarist and banjoist Brandon Seabrook's 'Hellbent Daydream' is a mesmerizing and surreal exploration of dream logic and creative friction. The album introduces a new quartet that provides an expansive, cinematic canvas for Seabrook's intricate and atmospheric compositions. The music thrives on tension and contradiction, pairing manic intensity with whimsical reverie, and visceral energy with fanciful, uncanny soundscapes. It is a bold and uncompromising statement, blending elements of noise, jazz, and experimental composition into a visceral and relentlessly alive sonic journey.
