http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6816217&rws=%2Fgrowing%2Ftop-tracks.rssCurrently the work of two members, Joe Denardo and Kevin Doria, Growing began in 2001 as a three-piece, with Denardo, Doria and Zack Carlson (all playing guitar) prayerfully creating elongated instrumental pieces at dog-exploding volumes. Live shows were unbelievably loud, and the band was difficult to categorize since metal, noise and even indie rock could all lay claim to aspects of the ultra-minimal music. Carlson left the band after the release of their first album, <i>The Sky's Run Into the Sea</i>, and Denardo and Doria have begun to employ keyboards and bass. The music remains extremely deliberate, but the keyboards add an element of new-age instrumentalism to the previous no-tempo howl of e-bow-molded feedback and super-low bass-note rumblings. The name of the band is startlingly apropos: the music often really does sound like plant life emerging from the ground. To some, Growing makes beautiful, almost transcendent music. Many others, however, just don't get it. - Mike McGuirkPost-Rocken720Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:07:21 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6816217&rws=%2Fgrowing%2Ftop-tracks.rss Currently the work of two members, Joe Denardo and Kevin Doria, Growing began in 2001 as a three-piece, with Denardo, Doria and Zack Carlson (all playing guitar) prayerfully creating elongated instrumental pieces at dog-exploding volumes.
