To Your Head Flipped Out Records FOR-15 CD £6.99 Six guitarists and three drummers in the service of collapsing galaxies ala classic string-toting orchestras like Vermonster (circa The Holy Sound Of American Pipe), Superconductor and the Budgie/Black Sabbath big band. Some totally frazzled cough syrup/LSD-style grudge with cranked, gnarly riffs escaping from a hairball mass of locked-down sludge/groove. If you your idea of ‘heaven’ is a fleet of lead-weighted guitars in eternal pursuit of spontaneous riff-nirvana/heavy metal polyphony then yr in the right place. Recommended. |

Tonite We Ride Flipped Out Records FOR-19 CD £6.99 Dunno if the title is a deliberate nod to the Blue Oyster Cult but it would fucking figure: Tonite We Ride is a single monolithic hard-rock four-guitar freeway, supported by bass bombs, drums and, uh, xylophone, that vibrates in a beautiful, skull-fucking anti-summer of love style that is closer to the “black nightmare” sound of Lemmy-era Hawkwind as filtered through yr own faulty imagination or the live blitzkreig style of prime BOC than any contemporary drone=momma’s boys style. So, yeah! Cover art by Bill Nace. |

Over The Rainbow Noiseville No Cat LP £14.99 Limited edition of 300 copies LP with paste-on sleeves, already sold out at source from this North American guitar army. A great, explosive set from these heads with the full-on psych blitz style of Vermonster circa “Children Of The Sun” transposed to the multiple groups soloing at once methodology of Ornette Coleman’s Free Jazz, flitting between dense standing waves of gridlocked guitar and beautiful polyphonic six-string excess. Sold out at source, limited supply. |

Herb Saint Flipped Out Records FOR-25 LP £17.99 Numbered edition of 99 copies LP from this East Coast USA guitar army generating the kind of axe-on-axe euphoria of behemoths like Vermonster and Superconductor. First side is a five-piece head-dive straight into the void ‘vibrated into being’ at the Helderbeg House, flip is a nine-piece levitation recorded live at Bard College. With colour paste-on sleeves. |
