Roaring out of the sunbleached stucco landscape of Orange County CA you’ll find PEDESTRIAN, shimmering guitars like heatwaves pluming off the rhythm section’s concrete foundation. Somewhere between the guitar-wave riders in CASPIANย and the melancholy bombast of SEAM, you’ll find these fellows churning out ferocious tumults of sound and weight. Lurching rhythms, bracing squalls of noise, and melancholy propel the quartet through ‘Healthy Ways to Die,’ equal parts blowing-away and drawing-in. Claustrophobia has never been so enticing.
