It’s not easy to summarize any band whose career has stretched over two decades. In the case of Growing, though, it’s all in the name: since 2001, the core duo of Kevin Doria and Joe DeNardo have been making vibrating, explorative experimental music that is in a forever state of evolution. In that time, they have amassed a hard-to-define and influential body of work, and Diptych sees the band operating at the height of their “big amp ambient” powers. Diptych is a masterclass in slowly undulating ambient drift, and quite possibly the definitive headphone album of the year. Guitars that sound like organs pointed at the heavens are cut with subtly damaged electronic moves, the end result being a record that is at once ecstatic, transportive and gritty.  Ambient and new age music have become part of the larger indie vocabulary. Things were different over twenty years ago in the Olympia, Washington punk community where Doria and DeNardo got their start. Both veterans of aggressive music by the time the band began, Growing emerged like a rainbow at the other end of the heavy music tunnel: loud as ever, but with a sonic and aesthetic position that ran counter to punk rock norms.  Created over the past year and a half, Diptych extrapolates on Growing’s formative drone-based work, showing a unit in full control of a language that they have built and reconfigured over time. The music here continues to be an intuitive outgrowth of a friendship that started in...

Soul Of The Rainbow And The Harmony Of Light by Growing

Growing

Soul Of The Rainbow And The Harmony Of Light
Kranky

***The second full-length CD from heavy-duty sound pushers GROWING, the loudest quiet band you'll ever hear. Now recording as a duo, the band takes their expansive instrumental palette and pushes it with feedback, hiss and static manipulation, wringing out waves of delay from their amps while retaining an earthbound mastery of crushing riffage. Mixed by REX RITTER (JESSAMINE, FONATANELLE, SUNN).

Sky's Run Into The Sea by Growing

Growing

Sky's Run Into The Sea
Kranky

***GROWING create a drifting, melodic and moody sound with drone overtones and relaxed-fit depressives. Sky's Run Into The Sea is minimal with stretches of drum throb and metal guitar stops that reveal latent harmonies and subtle dynamics.
