order at Heavy Nature Tapes
Colossus/Warning Lights c-30 (ESR082)
Warning lights side: - Georgia seem to have a super cool scene, Destructo Swarmbots, Black Meat, Oubliette, 1 Thousand Holy Shards, Magicicada, probably more that I’m forgetting and Tree Creature… of who’s Drew Haddon is also Warning Lights. The sidelong piece was created entirely out of synths and is a smoldering, slow building, and constantly evolving brilliant drone masterpiece.
Colossus side: Colossus is Ryan Laliberty from New Hampshire, and his shit is fucking brilliant. This sidelong track goes from luscious suspended drones to weird tribal industrial clatter, to full on psych jam. Dunno if he had others playing on this part or if he overdubbed the drum guitar workout, but either way this shit jams and doesn’t jam in all the right ways.
Color cover on handmade textured paper, and cardstock. - $6 ppd
order at Epicene Sound
Colossus/Robe - False Harbors c-30 (BT006)
Two tracks from each act ranging from dense low drones to desolate atmospheres.
