Album reviews

Camofleur
Drag City (1998)
One of the most critically acclaimed experimental groups of the decade, Gastr Del Sol creates songs from pieces of disparate musical fragments (namely haunting, repeated guitar and piano riffs and otherworldly tape manipulation) and pastes these fragments back together with little regard for linear motion.

Upgrade And Afterlife
Drag City (1996)
Gastr Del Sol's David Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke carry most of the load themselves on Upgrade And Afterlife, in contrast to the more collaborative nature of their earlier albums.
