Anyone who thinks they’re got Michael Gibbons’ modus-operandi figured from the fathoms of hot sticky fuzz that coat his playing with Bardo Pond better think the fuck again. 500 Mg presents a revealing sideways look at his guitar conceptions and here they’re all about actual physically locatable notes, albeit contorted into profoundly mutant shapes that reference everything from Conny Veit’s work with Gila and Popol Vuh through American frontiersmen like Sandy Bull and Neil Young. Also features a guest appearance from Bardo’s John Gibbons on guitar and lo-fi loops.
