/Post-rock, Experimental rock, Chamber rock/
Comment: LN is the prolific project by Andy Othling hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. His set of handful of tracks are dedicated to his newborn son. More concretely, the compositions do showcase instrumental post-rock mannerism and elements closely related to it. On the other side, emotionally it is a slowly growing one composed of lush guitar chord progressions, orchestrated overdrives where light-hearted notes are variegated with bold ones. However, at times he used to flirt with more experimental facets providing some pitch-shifted slices, sample-heavy snippets, and glockenspiel-induced beauty. In a nutshell, congratulations both on having the child and excellent release.
