Our Take

Right, brace yourself for a musical journey like no other, because GRID/FRIPP's album "Leviathan" is an absolute trip-and-a-half. These two experimental wizards have cooked up a sonic feast that will have your ears doing a tango with your brain.

The opening track "Deep Sea Diver" plunges you headfirst into a murky ocean of glitchy beats and ethereal synths. Just when you think you've got a handle on things, BAM! You're hit with a wall of distorted guitars that'll knock your socks off.

But don't get too comfortable, because "Leviathan" is a rollercoaster ride that'll have you guessing at every turn. Tracks like "Abyssal Plain" and "Submarine Canyon" veer from ambient tranquility to frantic cacophony with effortless precision.

GRID/FRIPP's ability to blend genres and push boundaries is truly something to behold. Their use of unconventional instruments and off-kilter rhythms creates a sense of unease that is both exhilarating and unnerving.

By the time you reach the mind-bending closer "Trench Warfare", you'll be left gasping for air, desperate for more of the chaotic brilliance that "Leviathan" delivers in spades.

In conclusion, "Leviathan" is a bold, boundary-pushing masterpiece that solidifies GRID/FRIPP's status as true pioneers of the avant-garde. Strap yourself in and prepare for a wild ride, because this album is one hell of a trip.

About the artist

The Grid/Fripp

Grid/Fripp is the enigmatic duo comprised of legendary guitar virtuoso Robert Fripp and experimental electronic musician Richard Grid. Known for their avant-garde blend of ambient drone and glitchy textures, Grid/Fripp have been pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration for over two decades. Fripp, best known for his work with progressive rock giants King Crimson, brings his signature blend of technical precision and ethereal beauty to the duo's soundscapes. His intricate fingerpicking and innovative use of effects pedals create a mesmerising tapestry of sound that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. Grid, on the other hand, is a master of pushing the boundaries of electronic music. His use of modular synthesizers and digital manipulation techniques adds a layer of complexity and unpredictability to the duo's compositions. Grid's knack for creating glitchy rhythms and otherworldly soundscapes brings a sense of chaos and unpredictability to the otherwise controlled environment of Fripp's guitar work. Together, Grid/Fripp create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with Fripp's stoic presence contrasting with Grid's frenetic energy. The duo's ability to create music that is simultaneously challenging and accessible has earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim. With each release, Grid/Fripp continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of experimental music. Whether you're a die-hard fan of avant-garde music or simply looking to expand your sonic horizons, Grid/Fripp are a must-listen for anyone with an ear for the unconventional.
