Folks,
There's a new Church of Hed album afoot. Here's the info:
https://quarkspace.bandcamp.com/album/sandstoned
Here's the proggiest and stoniest track, yo. Take and before listening.
Church of Hed is the solo project of Paul Williams, the drummer, synthesist, and producer of the American spacerock band Quarkspace. With Quarkspace in retirement, Church of Hed remains Williams’s main focus. The music is essentially an aural travelogue, uniquely informed by progressive and space rock along with Berlin School electronica.
Sandstoned presents ethereal and electronic postcards from the North Coast. Inspired by the nighttime ambience of Lake Erie and nearby locations, the album veers between electronic beats and spacier arpeggiations overlaid by kinetic human playing. The ghosts of CAN, Cluster, Brian Eno, and others lurk within its songs and soundscapes.
Released both on CD and digitally, Sandstoned is available for download from Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, etc. as well as the usual streaming services, such as Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc. Remember to support Indie Music!
