The sound is revelatory and calming in a pre-disaster kind of way. It functions on grades of delicate and cavernous vocals and 60’s era folk guitar patterns. This is not meant to box the sound within these references though; they are merely the cornerstones for the ever-evolving, ambitious debut EP Best of Luck, Never Change by Kerry Gilbert’s Science Fiction Fantasy. The sound at times recalls the haunting pop of Grizzly Bear while the sonic pulsing that emerges seems to pay homage (very skillfully) to ambient composer Steven Reich. I have the first part of the gapless three part lone title track “Best of Luck, Never Change” available for FREE download below. It is an emotional traveler that effortlessly flows from melancholy to dreamy contentment both lyrically and musically. The intricate cascading vocals and detailed arrangements along with the thoroughly enjoyable glitch-outs show Science Fiction Fantasy to be a musical chameleon that can flawlessly imitate and thoughtfully create. This is a very promising piece that I am sure will only be expanded upon on his debut EP currently scheduled for release in September.
