Kyle Bobby Dunn

American label Sedimental originally released Fragments And Compositions Of Kyle Bobby Dunn in spring 2008. Dunn's next album, Fervency was released in 2009. In 2010, he issued the double album ''A Young Person's Guide to Kyle Bobby Dunn. This was followed by Ways of Meaning (2011), which combined guitar, organ, and electronic processing in more concise pieces. Dunn released another double album, Bring Me the Head of Kyle Bobby Dunn'', in 2012. His 2014 release, Kyle Bobby Dunn and the Infinite Sadness, expanded his work into a three-hour format. After a five-year hiatus, Dunn returned with From Here to Eternity (2019). In 2025, he released Mixture of Frailties. ==Reviews==

His work has been described as "compositions that are patience incarnate". Resident Advisor described Kyle Bobby Dunn and the Infinite Sadness as a deeply immersive listening experience, saying that "delicate musical figures" emerge gradually "in a beautiful light", giving the impression of sound that "had always been there and always would be". The review highlighted the tension between the music's sincerity and its humorous or ironic presentation, citing track titles such as "Boring Foothills of Foot Fetishville" and "Variations on a Theme by St. Dipshit". Despite this juxtaposition, the critic concluded that Dunn's approach underscores the genuine emotional weight of the work, calling it "some joyous shit". Canada's Exclaim! called From Here to Eternity "a masterful articulation of the power of ambient music", covering its expansive 18 tracks and Dunn's ability to uncover "infinitesimal moments of contemplation" within sweeping, long-form drones. The review described the opening of "Boul. Goin" as having "synth drones that sound organic, giving an impression of boundless and serene landscapes,” and compared the album to Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 for its "glimpses of levity". ==Discography==
