More New Matt Kivel Music

December 1, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We’ve heard some of the upcoming work that’s being previewed for 2016, but I don’t think anything has quite piqued my interest quite like the new stuff coming from Matt Kivel. There’s a sincerity in his voice, prevalent through the other work we’ve heard from him in advance of next year’s Janus. I suppose some might beg for more, musically, but I think it’s needed, with the guitar steadying Kivel’s voice throughout the track. Feels good to just let yourself go in this tune here. Look for Janus on February 5th of next year via Driftless Recordings.

Megafortress Works with Negative Space

September 9, 2014 nathan.lankford

I know the sort of music being crafted by Megafortress has been around for ages, but it never really sunk into my listening rotation until I obsessively delved into Majical Cloudz. Now, saying that, it doesn’t mean that Bill Gillim of Megafortress is crafting precisely the same music. For one, his voice has a gentler tone; one that is possibly more palatable for listeners. Still, there’s not much movement musically, working with the internal melody of the voice while sparse bits of instrumentation spring up from behind. Should make for an interesting listen when Believer is released by Driftless Recordings on November 4th.
