Exploding Skull: Coyote

photo: Scott Townsend

Brooklyn based guitarist Peter Joseph (OOF, Pelvi$$, Rathaus) moves at a snail's pace on Coyote, the new album by his Exploding Skull project. Inspired by Zen medidation the compositions flow languidly, with a bit of feedback and crackling static noises working a double shift as seasoning and lo-fi percussion.

Sometimes bending the notes so far that they are about to break or go out of tune, he plays a game of tension and release. Metal heads will love it as a come down album, and avant-garde and noise affiocianodas will appreciate the exploration of the outer regions of ambient and use of drones. Joseph can make his guitar sound like a totally alien instrument. His determined pushing of the boundaries opens up a unique sonic palette, enabling him to create textures and chord progressions that sound fresh and adventurous.
