After a long hard attempt to classify this music in any category, I decide
to give up entirely. Guitars are obviously present, but they are the
guitars you hear on the radio. Try to imagine a mix of grunge echo, then
throw in K.K. Null, and Jim O'Rourkes treated guitar on the side, and some
live percussion, and you might begin to understand what you listening too.
Organized chaos might also be a good oxymoron to use as the guttural
lyrics spoken in what might be tongues, okay so it's just bad distortion,
wash over the garage band experiment that is Gravitar. The sound is so
unique, that you can help but enjoy playing it loudly over the neighbors
Led Zeppelin just so they can begin to understand how a guitar should
really be utilized. This album is definitely an acquired taste, but once
you throw out all traditional theories of 'music' you can begin to
appreciate audio nightmares exhibited by this band. A must for all guitar
noise enthusiasts, or those wanting to torture the Top 40 neighbors.
