22222222

22222222 is a dive into the more abstract and unsettling corners of Buckethead’s massive discography. Eschewing the melodic hooks or heavy metal riffs found in his more accessible Pikes, this album focuses on long-form, improvisational tension. The sound is dry and intimate, feeling as though you are sitting in the room while a master technician tests the limits of his instrument. It is a record of process rather than polish, where the journey through dissonant scales and rhythmic stuttering is the primary focus.
