MGR - Nova Lux

Have I said I love solo albums? The idea that one guy sits down and builds an album on his own just makes an album more of an album, to me.

Nova Lux is a solo album by Mike Gallagher, a guitarist of Isis. Tiny Mix Tapes reviewed this album and says this about it:

As guitarist for the imposing doom metal outfit Isis, Mike Gallagher has developed a style characterized by dense, sustained textures coupled with a penchant for the subtle melodicism associated with the post-Sabbath riff. His solo project, MGR (the acronym for Mustard Gas and Roses, which Gallagher has borrowed from a line of Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five), is far from the drone/doom of his full-time job, however. Though more closely aligned with the post-rock of Tarentel, Labradford, Flying Saucer Attack, and the like, MGR’s debut full-length Nova Lux is an emotionally charged amalgamation of sounds that, much to its credit, refuses to fit neatly into any particular category.
