Indie-ambient debut of guitar manipulation, layered drones, & electronics in the vein of early Remora & Aarktica. "mwvm, which is actually British-native Michael Walton. On his proper debut "Rotations", the guitarist goes knee-deep into guitar wave manipulations of the most tranquil kind. Some may mistakenly label this ambient music [it's quiet and audaciously still], but Walton ensures there is plenty of variety in the ten tracks present on the record. Layered meshes of guitar fuzzing is interspersed with the rise and fall repetition of delay pedals. Textures are key to Walton's music as every single piece is centered around those. Surprisingly enough, though the sounds are quite minimal in nature, there is an unspoken warmth that is apparent from beginning to end, welcoming the listener in for a repeat helping. Highly satisfying and very essential to those madly in love with unspoken possibilities of composed sound." ~ Tom Sekowski, Gaz-eta
