His latest series of albums for \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrapefruit\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003emarks forty years of rigorous exploration in which he has managed to navigate disparate genres, scenes, and atmospheres, always at the forefront of experimental independent music. To commemorate, \u003cem\u003eGrapefruit\u003c\/em\u003e will be releasing four new Montgomery albums in 2021, which can be purchased individually or via subscription.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor his fourth album, appropriately named \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiotherapy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMontgomery\u003c\/strong\u003e builds his compositions from the subconscious, breaking down form and inviting in new techniques. \u003cem\u003e“Audioramble”\u003c\/em\u003e features call-and-response singing between him, \u003cstrong\u003eEmma Johnston\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eArnie Van Bussel\u003c\/strong\u003e, both of whom act as a Greek chorus to Montgomery’s reflections. “\u003cem\u003eOcclusione”\u003c\/em\u003e sets a sturdy musical bed under \u003cstrong\u003eMaria Eleanora C Mollard’s\u003c\/strong\u003e whispered spoken word, like a voice in one’s head that risks getting drowned out in the noise. For the sublime \u003cem\u003e“Audiotransport,\u003c\/em\u003e” guitars shimmer up the sides and weave through one another, reconciling the inner voices of doubt and worry into a meditation on the beauty of existence. The last track, \u003cem\u003e“Imperfect Intense”,\u003c\/em\u003e builds on imbalance as \u003cstrong\u003eJohnston’s\u003c\/strong\u003e vocals meet \u003cstrong\u003eMontgomery’s\u003c\/strong\u003e in broken harmony; both singers move at their own pace despite the other, embodying how uncertainty lies at the heart of how we live. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiotherapy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is the most intuitive and experimental entry of \u003cstrong\u003eRoy Montgomery’s\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021 (and—cough—2022) releases, closing out the series with introspection and transcendence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
