More Info "TAIGA REMAINS is the brainchild of Cincinnati's ALEX COBB. Over the past few years he has developed a signature sound that blurs the line between blissed-out guitar work and atonal, blown-out dirges. Cobb never sits still; Taiga Remains is always moving forward, searching out new ideas and sounds. His label, Students of Decay, is clearing house for all things drone. This year he's been spotted on Root Strata, Callow God, Arbor and more. On Wax Canopy, Cobb pushes the line he's scratched in the pavement further than before. His soothing, six-string sorcery still dot the horizon on this album, but there's also a more angular, blown-out monster at work here. It's like he's channeling the angry spirits of the world into a fuzzed elegiac strains. This is powerful music built to shake the foundation and rattle your crystal bones. These diamonds are forever. Limited to 500 copies. Cover art by JEFRE CANTU-LEDESMA." [label info] "... Cobb's music is a shimmering glaze of guitar-sourced drone, a fuzzed-up, coruscating kaleidoscope of colour and light with the ability to initiate a gentle shift of perceptions. It's deceptively simple and surprisingly joyous. This isn't an album born out of night time somnambulism but of searing heat and white light. It's fun to listen to (which isn't something you get to say about too many drone albums) and even more so if you crank the volume up a little and really embrace the blissed-out, burn-up of it all."
