Our Take

In their latest group effort, the eccentric trio of John Dwyer, Ryan Sawyer, and Wilder Zoby team up with percussionist Andres Renteria to deliver a cacophonous cacophony of experimental brilliance on Gong Splatin.

From the opening track "Banging the Gong" to the closing notes of "Splatinum Symphony," this album takes listeners on a wild sonic journey through a universe where gongs reign supreme and the laws of conventional music are thrown out the window.

Dwyer's guitar work is as frenetic as ever, Sawyer's drumming is a masterclass in controlled chaos, Zoby's synth textures add a futuristic edge, and Renteria's percussion adds an earthy, primal element to the mix.

Tracks like "Gongzilla" and "Splat Attack" showcase the group's ability to seamlessly blend noise, psychedelia, and avant-garde jazz into a cohesive whole, while "Gongfetti" and "Splattlefield" reveal their softer, more introspective side.

While Gong Splatin may not be for everyone, those willing to let go of their preconceived notions of what music should be will find a truly unique and utterly captivating listening experience. This is boundary-pushing, genre-defying music at its finest. Gong Splatin is a triumph of artistic expression and a testament to the boundless creativity of these four exceptional musicians.
