Known for his work with experimental groups like Teeth Mountain and Liturgy, Greg Fox strikes out on his own with his solo project-turned-ensemble Guardian Alien. Exploring a more hypnotic, meditative sound, the project finds the multi-instrumentalist heading in a direction that, while experimental, is more structured. To aid Fox on his mind-expanding musical journey, the songwriter enlisted the help of Liturgy guitarist Bernard Gann, as well as bassist Eli Winograd, singer Alex Drewchin, and shahi baaja player Turner Williams, Jr. With a core group in place, Guardian Alien made their self-titled debut in 2011 with a release on Swill Children. In 2012, the band made the jump to Thrill Jockey, who put out their sophomore release, See the World Given to a One Love Entity. ~ Gregory Heaney
