What You Don’t Know is Frontier

Best Records Of 2008, #13 - Asva
What You Don’t Know is Frontier

Southern Records

Release Date: 05.05.08

Seemingly coming out of nowhere, G. Stuart Dahlquist and assorted cronies (including Mr. Bungle’s Trey Spruance) have crafted an album of barren sonic vistas and harsh, funereal bliss [Asva]. What You Don’t Know is Frontier is filled with slow-rolling doom dirges that soothe and storm in equal measure, and despite being almost completely unheralded, it remains an ugly-beautiful masterwork built on the resonant pillars of echoes, silence, patience and grace. –Jason Jackowiak
