PLANNING FOR BURIAL - Desideratum (Digi-Sleeve CD)
United States | Shoegaze/Rock/Experimental
Detailed Description
Simultaneously straddling the line between being completely nostalgic and futurist sounding, Planning For Burial is the product of a single wunderkind taking healthy obsessions with certain influences and filtering them through a droning, gloomy spyglass that evokes only the most concrete blues (the emotion not the music) this side of the gray waters of the Atlantic. While Planning For Burial gets lumped in with the whole wave of 'bedroom recording artists' (which is where the project toiled for years until Leaving finally was released), the mastermind behind the project sets himself apart from his peers due in no small part to his background in sound. Planning For Burial's brand of dark shoegaze/gloomgaze is hard to categorize, but it's sound contains elements of slowcore, shoegaze, doom, drone, 90?s alt rock, 80?s goth, and black metal, while never being defined by any one of those genres.
