first one, which opens with
Artery, here:
Released last
year, Otherness showed listeners
the immense power and musical depth that can be created from the development of
just a single note. It's richness absorbs you from the very beginning,
transporting the listener through splashes of instrumentation and the
expressive tones of Gilmour's voice. Throughout the
record you hear its driving force, and slowly ponder over the intriguing,
strange entanglement between sampled sounds and organic melodies.
Otherness revealed Grayson
Gilmour at his strongest and most intimate yet.
"Grayson Gilmour
has never had more to say, nor said it more affectingly. The melodies are
lovely, the production crackles with colour, and the whole thing marks a new
level of achievement." - Nick Bollinger (RadioNZ)
