Two monumental tracks gradually envelop the listener with rich textures and tones as the hypnotic repetition of the drone strips away any concept of time. A mind-altering journey into the esoteric world of sound and silence that combines the efforts of two incredibly talented acts is now out via Cursed Monk Records.
Drone has always been a polarizing genre, garnering either love or hate from prospective listeners. It's a style of music that requires one to embrace it fully and give oneself over to it for the duration of the listening experience (which as we know tends to be on the extensive side).
For many people, this is a challenging thing to do, as they don't receive immediate gratification. Yet, if they stuck things out the rewards would be truly wonderful. The Mountain King and Gate To Xibalba have approached this album with that exact mindset of effort and reward.
This is an offering that requires a certain level of commitment from the listener, but if they are willing to give what is required of them then they will find a thing of true beauty.
Both tracks gradually unfold as they progress, with rich textures and tones washing over the listener. The hypnotic repetition that drone is known for strips the listener of any concept of time and they feel lost in this music, not knowing when it began or when it will end.
The split operates as much in silence as it does in noise. It is no easy thing to make the absence of sound feel equal as impactful and moving as powerful notes and textures, but both projects have successfully achieved this feat.
Don't miss the chance to be taken on this journey into the world of sound and textures through the joint efforts of two incredibly talented acts, The Mountain King and Gate To Xibalba - right below.
