HolyKindOf - Stay / Sea (2025) [Hi-Res]

Firstly released on eilean rec., 10 years ago, as a very limited CDr edition, it was obviously important to put a new light on the first and only complete release from HolyKindOf (J. Bryan Parks).

HolyKindOf is multi instrumentalist J. Bryan Parks from Akron, Ohio.
Is a part of Rubber City Noise. HolyKindOf is a solo venture that began its current incarnation in the late spring of 2012 in a cathartic response to personal tragedy.
Using dense layers of manipulated loops; primarily cello, field recordings, tape & voice. He sculpts viscerally; a requiem of repetitive phrase, culminating heady delicacies, evolving melodies & crescendo.
Each live performance is unique & written specifically for each space. With vague compositions & open ended construction -a quilt work of pieces, woven together- half written & half improvised.
