Failed Celestial Creatures marks a captivating collaboration between renowned composer-guitarist David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol, The Red Krayola) and Tokyo sound artist Taku Unami, released by Empty Editions in 2018. Their partnership weaves together meditative, experimental rock landscapes, with music that twists and unfolds like a Cubist river—flowing in unexpected directions with sudden left turns and atmospheric pauses.
This introspective album stands out for its distinct lack of percussion, allowing the melodies and textures to breathe and evolve freely. With a blend of familiar rock forms decoded into something wholly new, Grubbs and Unami craft intricate soundscapes that invite repeated listening and reveal new details with each play, making Failed Celestial Creatures a fascinating addition for fans of boundary-pushing experimental music.
