Heavy Winged
Heavy Winged regularly lock into relentless motorik grooves, super repetitive, the guitar slowly building momentum, with sheets of high end, streaks of feedback and a wall of buzz lifting you ever higher. Imagine a deranged lysergic-fuelled scientist taking a lost Fushitsusha jam and slowing it down in the lab to examine it more closely...a time lapse film of a 'psych jam' captured in the wild. For most of their releases, the trio set up in a room and play. Totally improvised and recorded to 4 track. Wildly ecstatic...and the "song" only finishes when it feels right for it to finish.
The Wire reckoned one release sounded like "...a vast blank wall of a monolithic windowless tower block, seemingly featureless from a distance, but so rough up close that it tears skin from flesh and flesh from bone." Fair enough, I reckon, if you like that kind of effusive review! This ain't Explosions In The Sky! This is some serious psychedelic heaviness, blissfully blown out and weirdly hypnotic.
I've followed this band for a few years now. Even so, I nip to the shops to find out they've sneaked out another ridiculously limited release...and it's sold out! The last 4 of the posts have no release date or label info...any help out there?
