Comment: some artists come to stay, some artists come to disappear forever. Appalachian Falls seems to be a representative of the latter version. One can find out very austere information about him/her (he/she is called as austerely as I) traces in music. However, GrimGrimAntonym consists of two long-running compositions in the vein of ambient and drone mixed powerful appearance. More profoundly, it is represented with the texture of ambient music and the inner, propulsive impulse of drone music by employing an array of distortion pedals and tape machines. The music is recorded during a live session which used to slowly build up in the manner of post-rock through massive crescendos and subsequent purgative fadeouts. The enchanting aural experience is a part of the discography of Resting Bell, a well-recognized German imprint (unfortunately its mission has come to an ending). That`s great indeed.
