Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Brass Clouds is Dustin Dybvig - multi-instrumentalist, composer, engineer and producer. While assorting the spectrum of moods into over 10 releases, Dybvig shape shifts from mystical, deep sea, acid jazz into bright, kaleidoscopic neck-popping beats. His dexterity and extensive time in the studio germinates libraries of psychedelic sensory experiences. Dybvig's intent is to craft a space to amalgamate soundscapes, dance, and introspection."- Bathysphere Records

"Escape Vessels is a melodic pondering on existence and our relationship with our time on this planet. Each track flows in and out like a distant collective consciousness. Touching on themes of 5th dimension dwelling and dying planets, it is a layered sonic journey into the unknown."
