After several cassette-only releases, full-lengths, and EPs during the
first half of the decade, the challenge for Growing was how to stay
consistently evolving and moving, not just another name in the drone
rock/noise camp. The results on Color Wheel not only meet this challenge
head on, but in some instance the duo exceeds expectations. Rather than
becoming a one-drone pony, Growing utilize a wider variety of
instrumentation and sounds to develop their compositions. It's a bit
like adding a few extra dashes of spices to a dish to accentuate the
flavors and ingredients already simmering. While there are familiar
elements in play here (glacial pacing, the eventual unraveling and
folding of ideas into one another), this time around the duo sounds a
bit more relaxed and bright in tone. It's not as aggressive or loud as
previous releases, and that's definitely a welcome thing as well. A
nice leap forward for a project that feels as if it's just getting
started, even several years into the duo's career.
