You read about the new Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound album, When Sweet Sleep Returned, last week, now here’s the first studio recording, the self-released, self-titled, Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound LP. Comes housed in a silkscreened cover with insert and hand-numbered vinyl. Mine is #290/500. This is space rock the way it was meant to sound.
Dusted Magazine wrote, “To put simply, or perhaps more intricately, the AHSS keeps a beat so the listener doesn’t forget to breathe. It serves as a reminder of regulation, a circular Zen sort of application, so the guitar and keyboard don’t transport the brain into some sort of ninth dimension, where anyone who surpasses can float, withstand the heat of a star, and roam distant galaxies. Their self-titled record is a two-sided hallucination and they are the maestros. It has an intensity that is almost enough fuzz and screaming guitar to cause the human race to go extinct. In fact, The Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound is the combination of 1920s science fiction books, hallucinogens, and the west coast. If there were a soundtrack for Pranksters who went on a voyage in outer space, the Assemble Head would be first request. A specific track comes to mind that would fit the soundtrack famously, “Kurtz’s Shroud.†In and of itself, an interesting literary character to choose a song title for, a correlation that reveals the weight of what could otherwise be considered a dreamy haze of a folk tune. However, Marlow in Heart of Darkness experiences a similar expedition to that of the AHSS listener, one that navigates to the center of an unknown, unpredictable terrain. So, the link is legitimate. Even their website insists: “hallucinatory rock n’ roll and pastoral moonbase laments that voyages from the kingdoms of the acid rock masters to Morricone’s desert soundscapes…†I couldn’t agree more.”
