Camoufleur

Gastr del Sol’s Drag City debut strips away the group’s earlier industrial textures for sparse, architecturally precise post rock—bowed strings and feedback-laden guitar phrases suspended in deliberate silence. David Wm. Sims and Jim O’Rourke construct songs from negative space, letting each gesture breathe before the next arrives. Camoufleur feels less like rock music than a conversation between instruments learning to trust emptiness.
