Keep an Eye Out

VINYL FORMAT. Sunn O))) founder O'Malley summons a mesmerizing drone, absorbing the listener into an aural tar pit of deep, inexorable oblivion. He wears a cloak of post-metal allegiances with behemoths like Earth, but beneath that, there's a vibrant body of work that owes as much to the heady minimalism of Tony Conrad and Steve Reich. Constantly pushing the extremes of volume and duration, O'Malley's sound is a physical phenomenon, infused with an intimidating power and possessing, at its core, an oddly meditative tranquility.
