The Gilliam Section is a Texas based ambient/progressive band who fuse soundscapes and ethno-beats within rock structures and provide an adventurous, improvisational, abstract sound.
The title of their latest album "Solus", the first in a series featuring varied approaches, including minimalism, sonic collage and aural delight in sound.
"Solus" opens with the thematic "Habitual", which percolates over a bed of multi-tracked guitar-swells. Later, on the dynamic "Landscape", Willard and Marcell trade guitar signatures and stick modalities with a skittering rhythm section, whilst "Trumble" and "Solus" move trumblingly from a minimalist groove, to a coda ("Habitual Grace")... completing this series.
The Gilliam Section is

John Marcell (NST Guitars, Loops, Effects, bass, piano, Tape Noise, Technical Ops of a Liberal Variety, Occasional Silence, and other instruments) has spent the last thirty years working with notable groups such as Entropics, Pulsating Love Flower, Debris, and Paul is Dead encompassing the sort of experimentalism and noise that he now gives vent to in The Gilliam Section.
