Gridfailure Streaming Collaborative Album "Dendritic" With Megalophobe

"Dendritic," the new avant/ambient collaborative album by New York groups Gridfailure and Megalophobe, will see release on Arbor Day (this Friday, April 28th). The artists are currently planting trees across the Lower Hudson Valley region in conjunction with the record, and today an advance stream has come online.

Fusing guitars, accordion, trumpet, keyboards, analog synth, mbira, theremin, harmonica, didgeridoo, trumpet, vocals, effects, and a variety of vocal styles, Gridfailure & Megalaphobe's "Dendritic" ebbs with hints of mellow prog and jazz, demoralizing noise/drone buildups, nature recordings captured in several countries, and more into ambient soundscapes, abstract dreamscapes, and a uniquely experimental overall sound.

Guest contributions include trumpet by Mac Gollehon (David Bowie, Miles Davis, Blondie, Onyx, Duran Duran), vocals by Leila Abdul-Rauf (Vastum, Ionophore, Cardinal Wyrm) and Friederike Schüür, guitar by Liz Ciavarella-Brenner, Rob Levitt, and Christian Molenaar (Those Darn Gnomes), and field recordings from Jon Paris (Rack).
