Review by Ícaro Menezes de Matos

Brent Gutzeit's latest album, Rocks Blows, is a captivating exploration of sound and texture. The album features a diverse range of experimental compositions that showcase Gutzeit's skill as a sound artist.

From the opening track, "Rocks Blows," the listener is immersed in a world of sonic experimentation. Gutzeit uses a variety of instruments and techniques to create a complex and layered sound that is both hypnotic and engaging.

Throughout the album, Gutzeit's use of field recordings and found sounds adds an element of unpredictability to the compositions. The track "Wind Chimes" is a perfect example of this, with the sounds of wind chimes and birdsong blending seamlessly with more traditional musical elements.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Circuit Bent," which features a series of glitchy, distorted sounds that build to a frenzied crescendo. It's a thrilling and intense listening experience that showcases Gutzeit's ability to create complex and challenging compositions.
