Album Review: Vision Swim by Growing

Growing released this 2007 album on Troubleman records.

Growing is a collective of musicians who like dabble in the more psychoactive side of electronic / experimental music. Lot's of kaleidoscopic sound patterns, guitar swoops, feedback shifts, weird bloops, half sounds, all kinds of aural tomfoolery. Very weird, far out stuff. The strange, new sounds on here are actually quite interesting and inventive.

I'm not 100 % sure how this is a Vision Swim when the journey really all takes place in your brain and ears. This is the kind of blissed out, fractured music one would expect you'd want to listen too after a hard night of clubbing in Gino after hour bars and abusing numerous narcotics. This album would be a decent representation of the old "this is your brain on drugs" saying from back in the day.

This album defiantly is not for everybody, but does offer a good alternative to boring, played out, generic pop / rock lameness. People who seek new sounds and enjoy taking little cerebral journeys should find the sounds presented here to quite original and engaging.

This album is sound of a fractured brain on way too many miscellaneous pills psilocyben mushrooms, trying to make sense of alien world that is populated with cold, sunny beaches and palm trees; all seen through the eye of a kaleidoscope.

4/5

ohh yyeeyeyesssjss i didn't see this video before. one thing - and i don't want to sound like a dick - but when you list the album name first in the title, it makes the reviews a lot harder to browse than if you put the band's name first.

growing RULLLLLLLLLLLLES! this is one of my favorite bands.

It's totally interesting.

I remember walking in on my janitor friend, Chad, and he was mopping the floor at the club I work at and this was playing through a PA.

It sounded awesome in surround sound.

Who spammed this ???
