Visc mines alternative / glam sounds on the two faced "Eater Of Things"

AP Track Review

Visc, aka Dylan Fellows - singer-songwriter / guitarist / producer (based out of Atlanta, GA)  on his latest offering Eater Of Things mines deep alternative rock vibes with tinges of art rock peaking around the edges. Fellow's vocal aesthetic pushes hard but has soft edges. Vocally I felt hints of late 70's glam in a sort of T-Rex sort of way. The guitar break is big and sultry with tinges of art rock and glam too. So there is that glam softness but a total muscular sound in the overall guitar driven tones. I like that counter position. 

Fellows was previously involved in the band Tungsten out of (I think) Phoenix, AZ but found himself relocating to Atlanta some time ago and is now doing it all. He is keeping his musical options, his creative confessions not married to one genre. Daring to be experimental.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Visc embraces disaster. It takes a horrible moment, like a broken signal, a detuned note, or a bleak situation, and looks at it through rose colored glasses. Through this (possibly misguided) optimism comes the spirit and idea of Visc.

Though the spirit of Visc is admittedly vague, the sounds of Visc are almost as hard to characterize. This difficulty is rooted in the fact that Visc has never really known what it is, and is constantly on a quest for self identification. It is at times as sweet as honey, with a clear shimmering guitar chord, and sometimes it crashes down with distorted analog chaos. The only constant is the smooth (once described as androgynous), voice of Dylan Fellows, carefully woven into the rhythm of each song, or laid softly on top like flowers on a casket.

In contrast to his past works, in his newest creation, Dylan Fellows looks inward for inspiration. Hello, Disaster focuses on his biggest faults and fears, touching on subjects that most of us can relate to. The music is as experimental as ever. It is dark and prone to tantrums. It is happy, as well as hopeless. However, over all of this, its most defining traits are that it is both honest and personal.
