The Serpentine Similar

by Gastr del Sol

The Serpentine Similar cover art

Originally conceived as a vehicle for David Grubbs and Bundy K. Brown following the dissolution of Bastro, this debut strips rock instrumentation down to stark, angular acoustic frameworks. The intricate fingerpicking and jarringly abrupt transitions set a profound precedent for the intersecting worlds of math rock, free improvisation, and avant-garde folk.
