Grinding Teeth/zero Sleep
2020 will bring Josh Grahams most ambitious IIVII album to date. The release not one album, but two albums at the same
time!
Where Zero Sleep explores trying to live and trying to sleep, Grinding Teeth will lead you through a nightmare. The
ugly, dark and disorienting sounds are in direct opposition with the themes and tropes of Zero Sleep, making it a
complementary release. Rather than releasing it separately, it is presented as a double release. Both albums tell their
own story, but the dialogue between Zero Sleep and Grinding Teeth also tells a bleak tale. The albums have an impressive
dynamic range. From subtle and fragile ambient vibes, to fierce metallic drones: Graham tapped in to the whole of his
own back catalogue in order to have this story told. Its a bold and daring, yet captivating effort, where Graham got
help from a myriad of friends to conjure up this elaborate and complex world, like for instance Sarah Pendleton
(SubRosa), Mathilde Smessaert (BARST), Jo Quail, Gregory Simons (Vonnis), Dana Schechter (Insect Ark), Billy Graves (A
Storm of Light), Shane Ocell (Sorxe), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Benjamin Weinman (Dillinger Escape Plan).
For fans of: Empusae, Bolt Ruin, Tim Hecker, Hildur Gudnadottir, Carpentur Brut, Perturbator, Kyle Dixon & Michael
