about

GRIDFAILURE presents Epicenter MMXX: Quarantine Instrumentals, a new EP created in self-quarantine during the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic of 2020, which is still blossoming around the globe as the record sees release.

Epicenter MMXX: Quarantine Instrumentals sees GRIDFAILURE creator David Brenner working without any outside collaborators, and no vocals. Handling all performance, design, and mixing aspects alone, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, several types each of synth/keys and digital drum/percussion setups, acoustic percussion, powerelectronics, field recordings, and more are performed in a layered but minimalistic dark ambient approach infused with elements of Americana.

Without a fraction of hope or light to be found, the record breathes the panic and confusion of living in the epicenter of the pandemic in its onset, the angst and consuming depression the ongoing crisis bears, and the fear and disillusion of what’s still to come from a failed and corrupt dystopian-edged government. Heavy, offset biomech beats parallel sorrowful bass flows, pensive soundscapes auras, and unstable guitar and synth/keys dirges. A paranoid-stricken sense of ultimate demoralization is the outcome.
