Recorded (what feels like a billion moments ago) at the outset of world's shutdown (followed by eerie "recovery period"), these basement tracks finally see the light of day on vinyl, via Sleeping Giant Glossolalia.

Keeping an unconventional, less polished production value, warts and all, comports with the nature of these quasi-songs. As we further collapse the discrete into the continuous, or at least maintain that illusion through pathological infinitesimalization of information capture, we may bear in mind that our sensory baselines are forever changing.

Cheers!

YELLOWGREENRED.COM, November 2022:

"Overcalc blew me away with his unassuming debut back in 2019, and I thought I was the only one who cared, at least until now that I see Sleeping Giant Glossolalia has released album number two. It’s still great! In case you don’t recall (and I get the impression many of you failed to peep in the first place), Overcalc essentially merges guitar-hero histrionics with perplexing drum machine grids and a krautrock sensibility. Imagine an extended durational meeting between Manuel Göttsching and Mick Barr and you’re on the right track, or perhaps Champs as remixed by Black Dice, or Iron Maiden, had they been produced by Conny Plank for a 1976 Brain Records release??? These songs open up plenty of space for wild fantasies, further proof that heavy-metal guitar showboating can be applied to essentially any musical template with solid-to-exceptional results. Granted, this sort of idea could easily fall apart in incapable hands, but Overcalc (the solo work of Baltimore’s Nick Skrobisz) is inspired in its performance and construction; Skrobisz runs through counterpointed riffs and strict musical delineations with flair and technicality, taking on the role of a mad scientist more than a home-recording guitarist. He’s certainly found a shining form of musical alchemy here, and while I probably can’t convince every one of you to pick up this record, most of y’all should check this out."
