Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound
Genre: Other From: San Francisco, California, United States

It’s been a busy day in the life of the Devil so tonights post is a reprint of the AHISS self penned bio. You can call me lazy but it’s either that or miss out on a post for one night so I hope you’ll forgive me.

San Francisco’s Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound (first featured on the Devil’s blog back in January this year, When Sweet Sleep Returned) is a soundtrack for strange days and futures bright and bleak. But there is also a crooked thread that runs backward through every Assemble Head record the celestial trajectories of ‘The Notorious Byrd Brothers’ and circa 70s Floyd; the dusty canyon stomps of Crazy Horse, slashing action pop of the savage young Who, Italian bastardizations of Lalo Schifrin cop movie scores, and the scuzz-bomb shrapnel of latter-day garage mongers like Mudhoney and Monoshock.

The bands third LP, ‘When Sweet Sleep Returned’, finds the group speaking their own twisted tongue more assuredly than ever marrying hazy Saturday moods, interstellar sonics and wrecking-ball swing to song and harmony in poems for California, lovers, ghosts, the stars, and a world gone stark raving mad.
