Sweeping strings, haunting guitars, and brassy adornments are among the forces flowing throughout “Adamant,” a track from Vast Caldera, the project of Justin Weiss. From the NYC artist’s Vast Caldera 1 EP, “Adamant” provides some ideal Halloween-time listening — especially when the scorching guitars and strings converge for an eerily consuming feel as the two-minute mark approaches. The guitars assume a sludgy feeling toward the conclusion, then leading into the peppier and funk-tinged “Glory.” The EP consumes thereafter with a sound impressive on atmospheric and melodic fronts.

“Every track should be a journey that takes you to the horizon and back,” Weiss says of the Vast Caldera 1 EP. “The goal from day one was to capture the type of guitar riffs that I loved from the 70s and 80s and infuse it with the modern soundscape of electronic music.”
