| This four piece Richmond band exhibits a talent and grace well beyond their years. After the release of two stellar EP''s, Gregor Samsa delivers their much anticipated debut full length. 55:12 is an eight song journey submerged in dreamy, multi-layered atmospherics. The band blurs the lines of ambient and indie, from heavy and dark one moment to hushed and serene the next, all while angelic guy/girl vocals drift overhead. Gregor Samsa is Champ Bennett, Nikki King, Jason Laferrera and Billy Bennett. The album was tracked at the Recorditorium in Richmond , engineered by Jason Laferrera and produced by Gregor Samsa. The mix was done by Brian Paulson (Slint, Wilco, Beck). |
