Ben Greenberg’s Hubble project feels like the jeweled shrine of a road-worn head. Meditative, acute, and unrelenting, his gift to the listener is the expansion of the medium itself. Having cut his teeth in numerous bands such as Pygmy Shrews, Zs, and most recently with The Men, Greenberg has been fostering and cultivating his own unique reexamination of the guitar as an instrument, resulting in a minimalist and truly psychedelic whirlwind of notes. A collaboration with like-minded locals Amen Dunes (Sacred Bones Records) and the recent addition of Greenberg’s own vocals have demonstrated the flexibility of the Hubble concept, not just a sonic end but a modular approach that is able to inhabit and transcend genre and expectation.
