Montana – LP

Description

Crafted for adventurous DJs and soundscape artists, Montana is a vivid journey of shifting sonic swells—layered guitar textures, circuit-bent keys, and pulsing percussion converge into a vast, enigmatic soundworld. Obelus, the duo of Jason Goessl and Adam Pessl, blurs the line between organic and electronic, offering ambient waves and experimental rhythms that evoke the open, mysterious expanse of the album’s namesake.

When guitarist Jason Goessl met drummer Adam Pessl in 2002, it seemed only right they should form some sort of musical pairing. [Come on, “Goessl” and “Pessl”? What are the odds?] Tenuous though the initial connection may have been, a partnership was formed and soon became the ever-evolving experimental project that is Obelus. Though trained and skilled in traditional live music performance, Jason and Adam were both fans of electronic music, and sought to forge a link between the two cultures. From the experimental to IDM to ambient to electro, Obelus has kept a unique sound intact reflective of their intuitive interplay.
