Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his departure from Gastr del Sol, the avant-garde guitarist fully embraces traditional songwriting structures while retaining an experimental edge. 'The Spectrum Between' relies on sparse, intricate acoustic guitar fingerpicking and subtle jazz-inflected percussion. Grubbs' poetic, deliberate vocal delivery anchors the complex, highly melodic arrangements.
