R M H Q: Headquarters

by Roy Montgomery

R M H Q: Headquarters cover art

Gathering four discs worth of rare 1990s material from the New Zealand ambient-rock architect, this exhaustive collection explores the vast possibilities of the electric guitar. The instrumental tracks rely heavily on cascading delay pedals and loops to build massive, oceanic drones and shimmering, shoegaze-adjacent textures of immense melancholic beauty. It operates as an expansive love letter to solitary, experimental guitar wash.
