Album Notes & Community Reviews

Matthew Bower's shifting ensemble continues to dissolve rock instrumentation into pure abrasive texture. 'Carved Into Roses' utilizes lethargic, heavily psychedelic guitar noise to construct profoundly dark, dissonant drones heavily indebted to free improvisation.

Genres

Descriptors: noisy, dissonant, distorted, experimental, repetitive, abrasive
