Back catalogue: Experimental/Electronic

Review: Brian Gibson has worn a few hats. All of them of high musicality and thoroughly innovative. To some, he's best known as bassist for the legendary duo, Lightning Bolt. For others, he's the guy behind a slew of fantastic video game soundtracks and compositions. Not least 2016's epic, Thumper. No prizes for guessing where this is going, Thrasher is the long-awaited sequel, marking his return to virtual reality worlds. The game itself has been described as "a mind-melting arcade action odyssey and visceral audiovisual experience", and when you learn the whole thing sees players following a weird space insect as it evolves and mutates, that quote seems less wild and conceptual. Alas, we digress. In terms of tunes, you could be forgiven for thinking Thrasher is a stand alone album, one that uses elements of IDM, ambient, bass, and more to fuse a highly immersive and inescapable electronic triumph.
