MW955-2
Dear Everyone
by Kyle Bruckmann’s Degradient
About This Release
Kyle Bruckmann’s Degradient / Dear Everyone is a two‑disc electro‑acoustic detonation: ninety‑nine voices torn from Matt Shears’ surreal text collide with a quintet that veers between chamber precision, free‑jazz volatility, avant‑rock density, and electronic rupture. With Aram Shelton, Weston Olencki, Jason Hoopes, and Jordan Glenn, Bruckmann builds a world where language fractures, grooves lurch, timbres mutate, and meaning flickers at the edges. It’s disorienting, obsessive, meticulously constructed — a sprawling, high‑voltage statement from one of the West Coast’s most uncompromising sonic architects.
