Comment: Stephen Briggs is a
musician from the end of the world, New Zealand. His 8-notch issue based on
extensively layered guitar music depicts picturesque visions and mellow
fantasies for your sake. Although his artsy guitar approach can be compared
with Robert Fripp´s aesthetic, the issue involves many
elements which might remind you of different styles and years. From cocky
progressive rock attitude and more warm fusion infused Canterbury sound to the
sonorous grandeur of Labradford and Aarktica, artsy coldness by Slowdive`s Pygmalion and remote, full-fledged
dreams of contemporary indie artists like Ducktails and Lee Noble. Furthermore,
Briggs` album sounds like a hyperrealistic entity as if reflecting upon a state
of sleep within you are wondering around and seeing somehow acquainted yet
eldritch environments on both sides of your path. For instance, by seeing
gravestones illuminated to promote commercial products. The tracks represented
on it used to crop out of nowhere silently to blow over similarly. I am very sure
the outing is a strong candidate for listening before you fall asleep.
