Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound - When Sweet Sleep Returned

San Francisco’s Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound 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 ‘70 Floyd; the dusty canyon stomps of Crazy Horse, slashing action pop of the savage young Who, Italian bastardisations of Lalo Scchifrin cop movie scores and the scuzz-bomb shrapnel of latter-day Garage mongers like Mudhoney and Monoshock.

This 3rd album is propelled to some extent by that same glorious distillate. Reunited with engineering mastermind Tim Green, who manned the controls for masterpieces from Howlin’ Rain, Comets On Fire and Earthless as well as Assemble Head’s 2007 release “Ekranoplan”, the band entered Louder Studios to record this ecstatic aural gumbo.
