ALBUM PREVIEW: Gimu - Crestfallen (Children Play Records)


Gimu
Crestfallen
(Children Play Records)


I wrote about Brazillian drone artist Gimu in June when he released The Sacred and heaped praise upon the marbled shades of its granite drone.  This new album is no different; Crestfallen is three fantastic pieces of piano bathed in mithril ambience.  Stream the full album via Gimu's Soundcloud and order from ChildrenPlay Records now.

DOWNLOAD: Gimu - The Sacred


Gimu
The Sacred
DOWNLOAD

A fantastically bleak two-track release from the solo Brazillian soundscapist Gimu.  An immersive experience into a heavily tone-flooded space of dark ambient drone. There is very little information regarding this artist, the intent behing the sounds and the mechanics of their creation a mystery that add to the details. The central tones sounds like immensely processed guitars, there's a low end rumble, a roaring mid range and top end frequencies buffeting around the twenty minute running time. Delicately searching needles of white hot feedback ring into the swirling darkness of the Part 1. The torrent of noise that forms Part 2 track throws up a scarily intimidating rush of black waters churning through the night; slick black over hot air, frictionless yet violent, smooth and ragged.

There are two more free download releases from May and April this year on his Bandcamp page: A Piano Piece and E.K.
