The cover art for 'She' by French improviser Guillaume Garguad depicts a spider mercilessly cradling it's prey in it's silky yet deadly webbing. It's a beautiful yet unnerving image that speaks volumes of the music contained within. Garguad weaves a web of mystery and suspense with his own brand of drone and phase based improvised soundscapes with the assistance of guitar and shit load of synths, tone generators and various other electronic devises. Garguad is determined in his mission to take the listener to new places but I'm not sure if these are places your usual pop loving listener would want to journey too. You need strength, guts and gritty determination to venture to such outposts of improv noise rock but if you make it the rewards are plentiful. A hauntingly beautiful collection of spaced out noise and drone from Utach records.French improviser Guillaume Gargaud offers a recording of incisive sound, exposed through the glass of guitar and electronics. Subtly weaving dark sinew with touches of mysticism, She reveals a fabric threaded with beauty, malaise and acrid whispers. An unnerving and august collection of songs.
