Dealing with a compulsory shelter-in-place ordinance to restrict the unfold of COVID-19, PG enacted a hybrid method to filming and producing Rig Rundowns. That is the 40th video in that format.

For over 20 years and two handfuls of data, God Is an Astronaut have been exploring emotive, shape-shifting atmospheric instrumental anthems. Most instrumental post-rock bands comply with a build-and-crash method, whereas GIAA eschews these conventions in quest of motion, melody, musical suspense.

Now PG has achieved some rig reprisals (Joe Bonamassa, Mastodon, Russian Circles, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, The Black Keys, Baroness, Gary Clark Jr, Primus, 311, Mr. Large, and others), however none of these evaluate to the overhaul God Is an Astronaut underwent through the COVID-19 quarantine. Each instrument, amp, and pedal (except for just a few preamps/DIs) are utterly completely different than our earlier 2016 Rundown. We will’t say some other setup has been rethought, restructured, and reformed to the diploma that Torsten Kinsella (guitars), Jamie Dean (guitars/keyboards), and Niels Kinsella (bass) executed within the seek for superior soundscapes.

Simply earlier than releasing their 10th album, Ghost Tapes #10—a 7-song assortment that seamlessly navigates from spacy and delicate to surly and damaging—the stirring post-rock powerhouse piled all their gear into Windmill Lane Recording Studios to showcase what was used on the brand new report and presumably heard on future excursions.

Inside this episode, we discover out why Torsten and Jamie swapped out humbucker-loaded semi-hollows for single-coil offsets and Gretsch solidbodies, whereas Niels explains the transfer from a P to a handy guide a rough short-scale Mustang. And so they pour over all the 50+ pedals (together with 10 Muff or Muff-inspired clones).
