About Gastr Del Sol
Artist Biography
Gastr del Sol was one of the most experimental groups to come out of Chicago's adventurous post-rock camp of the '90s. Shortly after forming around the more outlandish improvisational visions of David Grubbs, Jim O'Rourke climbed aboard to make Gastr del Sol a duo, adding his own musical depth to the project's mix of abstract acoustic instrumental technique, musique concrète-inspired electronics, and playfully deconstructed songwriting. Between 1993 and 1998, Gastr del Sol steadily expanded their sound, reaching a skewed but nearly accessible type of pop on 1998's Camoufleur. The two went their separate ways shortly thereafter, and both went on to prolific solo careers. In 2024, Gastr del Sol released We Have Dozens of Titles, an archival release made up of unreleased live recordings, non-album rarities, and other long-vaulted material from their run in the '90s.
