20 or so years ago, Kevin Doria and Joe DeNardo emerged from the Olympia underground under the name GROWING, proffering a signature blend of noise and mood they refer to as “big amp ambient.” Their latest is called Diptych, a two-sided long form epic at once meditational but also ecstatic. To celebrate its release, DeNardo and Doria have assembled Horizon Music For Anytime of Day, a blend expansive jams.

Growing’s music can be loosely defined as drone or ambient, but their body-vibrating towers of tone soar and scorch in ways often missing from those placid genres. By letting their guitar and bass buzz out into vast expanses, they are muscular but not quite metallic, hulking but never harsh.
