Ambient Series: Growing
It’s been a good year for ambient. Considering I only started taking the genre seriously in the last few months, we’ve had great record after great record, and here’s the next one: Growing wowed the crowds at Arthurball this winter and has a new album out entitled Color Wheel. What can you expect? Droning, sure, but also moments of unexpected ferocity and agression that wouldn’t be out of place on a post-rock disc – or a heavy metal album. “Cumulusness” sounds fittingly like a (digital) cloud rising skyward, but “Green Pasture” offers a searing, earthbound approach.
