The quiet before the storm. The abyss before birth. The moments that came before everything else. This is Episode Zero, Ben Gibson’s inaugural album on Chronicle. It takes us soaring through a musical narrative, beaming down into vast acoustic valleys of sound. From the very first notes the intent is apparent, lucidly slipping into a pool of full moon atmospherics. Departing deeper he carefully calculates each and every step, building momentum and pace until the way back is completely forgotten. Tracks like “Foreclosure” reach peak potential with crushed, mangled percussion, while others such as “Symptom” maintain a more seductive yet equally deadly pull. Building upon pillars of 12”s, Chronicle and Ben Gibson are now venturing into new territory with Episode Zero marking the first step. Join us.
