Crank Sturgeon & John Olson - Response To Rivers

Review by Kuba Osinski

Response To Rivers, the collaborative album by Crank Sturgeon and John Olson, is a unique and experimental blend of sounds and textures that will leave listeners in awe. The album features a variety of instruments and objects, from guitars and drums to found objects and field recordings, all woven together in a mesmerizing and captivating way.

The album opens with "River Response", a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its combination of distorted guitars, electronic beats, and field recordings of rushing water. As the album progresses, the duo explores a variety of sonic landscapes, from the chaotic and dissonant "Bark Response" to the dreamy and atmospheric "Moon Response".

One of the most intriguing aspects of Response To Rivers is the way in which Crank Sturgeon and John Olson incorporate found objects and everyday sounds into their music. In "Bottle Response", for example, the duo creates a haunting and otherworldly sound using nothing more than a glass bottle and some creative microphone placement.

Response To Rivers is a fascinating and engaging album that will appeal to fans of experimental music and avant-garde soundscapes. Crank Sturgeon and John Olson have created something truly unique and special with this album, and it's definitely worth a listen for anyone looking for something new and different in their music collection.
