David Grubbs & Ryley Walker trade brittle fingerpicking and skeletal improvisations on Husky Pants Records—a meeting of experimental composition and weathered folk phrasing. The Avantgarde textures are intimate and restrained: close-miked acoustic strings, muted electric whispers, awkward meters and slow, deliberate tempos that let microtonal shifts and dissonant intervals breathe. Pressed on vinyl, the record sits at the intersection of experimental chamber music and idiosyncratic singer-songwriter practice.
