MGR 'Wavering on the Cresting Heft'

'Wavering on the Cresting Heft' is the second solo recording from Isis guitarist Michael Gallagher under the moniker MGR. MGR stands for Mustard Gas and Roses, a reference taken from Vonnegut's classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five. This new full-length follows Gallagher's debut MGR release, 2006's 'Nova Lux'. If one were to loosely describe the music of MGR, it would fall under the post-rock classification.

While there are similarities to post-rock, MGR explores a more abstract style. The album mixes the ambiance of This Will Destroy You, the guitar-driven sounds of Isis, and the drone of Sunn O))).
