    New Church of Hed (Quarkspace PW) album, Electric Sepulcher

    Folks, my new album is out. Psychedelic, beat-laden electrospaceprog per usual. We have them for sale at the Shop at the new Church of Hed website. You get free copies of the first Church of Hed album and Quarkspace's Drop, Spacefolds 8 and 9 with every order. Here are the liner notes:

    Electric Sepulcher, Church of Hed’s third album, features the kinetic electronica for which the band is known, combining loops and beats with organic playing, writing, and improvisation. Paul Williams plays all the parts on the album, everything from electronic percussion to analog synthesizers. The album is dedicated to the memory of the recently passed music legends, Daevid Allen, Edgar Froese, Dieter Moebius, and Chris Squire.

    Sorry for the necro-bump. I just wanted to update this post with a review from Peter Thelen of Expose Magazine, as well as Jerry Kranitz's review from Aural Innovations combined with an interview with me. We talk about Quarkspace's retirement and some other cool stuff.

    Here is the Expose review.

    "If you miss the old days when electronic music was progressive and innovative, and not just a brain-dead wallpaper of 4/4 dance beats, then Electric Sepulcher is definitely worthy of exploration."

    And here is the Aural Innovations review and interview.

    "The album is a luscious instrumental journey that consists of quirky spaced out electronica, Space-Prog symphonics, sci-fi soundtrack and electro grooves. Paul excels at seamlessly blending disparate styles and influences, and the thematic development throughout the set is among his best yet."

    If you buy Electric Sepulcher from our shop, you get a host of goodies for free including the debut Church of Hed album, and Quarkspace's Drop, Spacefolds 8 and Spacefolds 9. We also throw in a download card for the new Church of Hed release, The Autumn Shrine EP. In short -- Give Hed for the Holidays!

    Thanks for reading!

    Just a bump to note that Electric Sepulcher made the Aural Innovations "Best of 2015" list. Two of 'em!
