“Welcome, Gigan, oh ye of the gloriously self-aggrandizing manifestos, hilarious promo pictures, and weird-ass logo that looks like it belongs on an air conditioner—and thank you for making music of absolutely devastating richness that belies all the aforementioned foolishness,” writes Monica Kendrick. The newly local band just released its third album, Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science (Willowtip), which is the first with vocalist Eston Browne. “The album’s intricate whirlwind of progressive death metal spins itself up out of the grave and into the kind of outer space you find in demented psychedelic science fiction—and it makes the trip without losing an ion of density.” Gigan also plays Reckless Records in Wicker Park on Saturday at 3:30 PM.
