GROW, GROWING, GROW

By Michael M. on October 15, 2008 in mp3blog

Growing is a guitar-Duo from Brooklyn, NY. Although, unless you are extremely familiar with effects-processing, you'd never know it was two guitars. Growing is in the same school of noise as Fuck Buttons - tinkering between the edge of indie-mainstream and the black-hole that is the noise-rock scene.



Much of their album is ambient drones pierced by lazer-beam like modulation. Songs, such as "Innit," contain an ever so slight touch of a beat and melody that it almost delves into a dance song. Almost. And where Fuck Buttons might layer fuzz and feedback, the guys of growing favor a gentler drone that reverts back to the song's hazy start.

It's a captivating album that's a lot more expressive than one might expect from a pedal-based guitar band. For fans of Deerhunter, Brian Eno, Fuck Buttons, Spacemen 3, even Sigur Ros.

Their album is titled "ALL THE WAY" out on the Social Registry.
