Amazing Births: “Eclipsed By The Younger Moon”

Amazing Births is bona fide favorite Mark McGuire and drone king Julian Gulyas’ attempt to spread the good word that bright, gently picked guitar arrangements and micro-modulating synth need not be enemies. Clocking in at 11 minutes, “Eclipsed by the Younger Moon” is a blissful exploration that lends itself to cinematic flights of imagination and transcendental meditation, making your brain waves a little more delta shaped. While the melodic guitars call to mind the gentler work of Reilly or Wong, the synths are flitting between the stereo channels; preoccupied with creating a dynamic context for themselves. Don’t let the dissonant patches, hints of binaural beats, and lack of traditional percussion intimidate you: this could be your smooth AM Gold gateway to drone music. –Luke Carrell
