This weekend sees Cardinal Fuzz in full flight with their Sonic Attack at Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia on Saturday 26th of September.
4 parts of the enviable Cardinal Fuzz roster, in the shape of elemental forces of nature – The Heads, Cult Of Dom Keller, Kandodo 3 and Dead Sea Apes will grace the Camp Stage from 18:45 onwards…
Time flies when you’re having fun…
It seems like only yesterday that I was reviewing the Dead Sea Apes‘ majestic 2014 offering, ‘High Evolutionary’.
Suffice to say that with ‘Spectral Domain’ they have surpassed themselves yet again, literally transcending beyond, revelling in their self-styled incorporeal dominion.
These fabled Dead Sea dwellers, allegedly transformed into Apes for turning a deaf ear to “God’s message”, can perhaps best be summed up in Carlyle’s metaphor as, “describing people in modern times to whom the universe, with all its serious voices, seems to have become a weariness and a humbug”. (Wikipedia). In that respect I am somewhat astonished that the Dead Sea Apes’ followers are as yet not numbered in their legions, give it time…
Recently, thanks to Brett Savage of Dead Sea Apes, I was introduced to the sonic delight that is Haikai No Ku’s “Ultra High Dimensionality” – when I saw that sister-band Blown Out were about to release “Drifting Way Out Between Suns”, I knew I had to have more of that sound in my life.
My brain, what there is of it, paints pictures, usually cinematic approximations of what I hear, and in the case of Haikai No Ku and Blown Out, I am immediately, transcendentally conveyed to the Do Long Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now…
I was already a huge fan of Hendrix when I first saw the movie on video as a teenager, so the Hendrix inspired, Randy Hansen scored bridge scene remains indelibly seared onto my hippocampus.
