Similar to label-mates Greg Davis and Stars of the Lid, Gregg Kowalsky's “Through The Cordial Window” brims with ambient hues, droney textures, and fizzling noise pieces.
The album's mood is a consistent warm charge; subtle electronic
minimalism and restrained guitar command blend celestially on songs
such as "Coral Gables" and "That in Allepo Twice." Trained under the guidance of Fred Frith at Mills
College, Kowalsky molds dream worlds using computers, field recordings,
and melodica.
This album is a must-have for fans of Brian Eno, Steve Reich, or anyone who loves to be absorbed by beautiful sounds.
