IMAGO OSSUARY by Thom Nguyen

Known to many as the percussive presence in groups like Nest Egg, MANAS, Wasting and We Bow to No Masters, Asheville's Thom Nguyen moves in to dronier, driftier worlds with his new offering for Medium Sound: IMAGO OSSUARY. Based around a chilling harmonium drone, embellished with fuzz bass and melodies that recall strings peering out from the mist, Nguyen conjures a total zone that is menacing and mesmerizing at once. For the flip side, Caldwell/Tester deliver a treatment that unravels the dirge and impact of the A-side in to a lysergic and unpredictable, patchwork dream state of processed sounds. Music to stare in to the void to.
