Ryan Garbes might just be the longest running member of the Night People roster. On top of that, the guy has been making noise with the Night People label’s owner, Shawn Reed, in Wet Hair for years. With every release exploring new realms of sonic noise, the only thing I’ve come to expect from Garbes is quality. “Easiness,” from his newest Night People tape Young Mona Lisa, dives right into that early-90s wall of distortion stuff while maintaining a certain footing in some of the earlier, more drone-based Wet Hair material. And his typically more prominent vocals melt away on this track into waves of pulsing, sonic amplification.
Chalk up another one for Mr. Garbes.
