Worrytrain, Destroy The Wall Street Sundial

Joshua Geissler, the lone member of Worrytrain, has created an electronic orchestral sound bereft of words that is powerful and raucous yet at the same time delicate and reserved. Geissler’s third album, Destroy The Wall Street Sundial, denotes this beautifully — with its roaring waves of crescendos and decrescendos, it embodies the movement of emotions. The twelve tracks on this album are enriched with dark, massive, heavy downbeats whilst sprinkled with fragile mandolin strumming that shows the depth and layered technicality rooted in the ambience/experimental genre. Unlike similar artists, you can listen to this effortlessly and never feel overwhelmed or bored because of the lack of lyrics. I don’t know what kind of beef Geissler has with Wall Street, but it’s as if he is channeling the ups and downs of the market and its ultimate destruction through his music. Too analytical? Perhaps, but that’s the beauty of instrumental music and Worrytrain.
