Art As Catharsis is proud to announce the release of Ground Patrol’s new record Geophone – the duo’s newest genre-bending foray into improvisation, looping and experimenting with distinct tones.

Powered by heavy rhythms, deep slaps of the drumkit and guitar that cuts through the air like a buzzsaw, Quake is the first single from Geophone. Elements of earth-shattering drone can be heard across the track, interspersed with sharp plucking before eventually being pulled together with a militant, cymbal-driven beat. Despite being one of the shorter tracks on the record, there’s no less excitement on the track – Quake stands as a great example of Ground Patrol’s ability to cover a journey’s worth of genre experimentation within a short period of time.
“Quake is one of those grooves we found ourselves in that I just wished we played for hours, “says Ilsar. “Somehow all the elements in it maintain a cohesion but also constantly create tension at the same time, with Kyle's long first chord and soon after the bass drum solidifying this pocket of energy as pieces keep breaking apart and morphing into different feels.”
