Altered Zones

Zs and Pygmy Shrews guitarist Ben Greenberg has broken free from the tethers of his bands to anxiously float above our atmosphere with his solo project as Hubble. Greenberg's brand of ambient, sci-fi psychedelia-- dubbed "cyber-dread"-- creatively stretches the limits of conventional guitar technique, tone, and composition in a way that showcases the instrument's formidable capability to fly solo. However, this is far from some etude, and a simple beauty results from subdued sophistication. Available for stream from his upcoming album, Hubble Drums, is "Nude Ghost," where Hubble deliberately shifts an echoing tapping motif in and out of phase with itself and a lethargic, crawling beat. --Matt Sullivan, Altered Zones
