Search - Merzbow :: 13 Japanese Birds 1

While burying himself in old books on Cold War espionage and '70s Italian horror soundtracks, Emil Amos logged many hours layering endless tracks of improv and then editing them into a cohesive sonic blanket. After two years, he emerged with his sixth full-length album under the name Holy Sons. Listeners will recognize Amos' signature hallucinatory LSD-inspired mixing style, heard on records like Grails' Black Tar Prophecies. Drifter's Sympathy draws from the instrumental moods of Grails, creating a densely paranoid atmosphere that evenly balances sonic experimentation with refined folk/blues song forms.
