Solo Andata Fyris Swan

• Words: Brion Paul
• Label: Hefty
• XLR8R Rating: /10

A looming tapestry of undulating, post-rockian, free jazz-tinged, minutiae-detailing, electro-acoustic brilliance, Fyris Swan's chest-tugging magnitude is a striking testament to the role of time, space, and technology in composition. Solo Andata's restrained and measured efficacy benefits from their separation (its members live in Australia and Sweden), as the labored deconstruction applied to every element forms the album's hefty backbone. Each pluck and bowed, processed sound builds over an hour, culminating in the perfectly realized "Midnight."
