HEY COLOSSUS 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' VINYL LP COMING SEPTEMBER 1ST. PRE ORDER NOW.
PRE ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Nine years after we put it out on CD, i'm delighted to announce the vinyl edition is coming at long last!. It's been brought up many times over the years but now seemed the right time to actually do it. It's a one off black vinyl pressing and all being well it'll be in shops for September 1st 2017. Here's what the band have to say about the album's long overdue vinyl release ...
'Happy
Birthday’ was Hey Colossus’s 4th album, and it was originally
released by Riot Season back in 2008 on CD only.
The album marked the beginning of chapter
two for the band, it was the first for Riot Season, the first where
the wings were spread and the band took flight. Total noise rock, 100%
out there sounds. The band was a 5 piece at the time and had just
completed a tour of Spain that was riddled with ups and downs but
mainly full of future talk.
Having done three albums on their own
label the main topic was what next? 'You gotta keep moving' is the
bands mantra, still is to this day - check the three recent records on
Rocket Recordings and compare them to the first records.
It was time to move away from conventional
song writing and screw with the heads.
‘Happy Birthday’ was recorded in
Dropout, South London. The only label they sent it too was Riot Season
as Mainliner, Shit And Shine and Circle were doing stuff with them at
that time. Riot Season said YES so the CD was released. It was the
beginning of the NOISE ROCK TRILOGY (HA-HA!) all on Riot Season,
‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Eurogrumble Vol 1’ and ‘RRR’.
Now, nine years later it’s finally time
for the vinyl version.
No tweaks. No new mastering bullshit. Nothing different. Same songs, on a slab of classic black vinyl"

Release Info
Fleetwood psychonauts return with their
second album of 2017. Whereas ‘Zen Bastard’ was a re-imagining
of ancient songs from the back catalogue, ‘Ascent to Godhead’
consists of brand new compositions improvised in the studio. No
Hawkwind-esque generators are to be found which are synonymous with
the space rock genre.
Instead we have a calamitous howl more
reminiscent to the Birthday Party than to Gong. Earthling Society’s
unique song writing abilities remain however; where no song starts and
ends the same, constantly morphing into something new. Jazz and
eastern rhythms are at the forefront of ‘Ascent to Godhead’.
Taking inspiration from Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Far East Family band,
Tidori Takada amongst others. This is no hippy claptrap from the
sunshine playroom, it’s an album that ties your brain in knots, and
oozes spiritual meaning.
Also included is the long lost garage
rocker ‘Can You Levitate?’ Recorded in 2009 and only unearthed
earlier this year. Proving that earthling Society were belting this
stuff out long before the current psych scene with it Elevators’
call to arms and Butthole Surfers splashdown.
This album makes a welcome return to RS for one of the UK's foremost space/psych rock bands. Never ones to follow simple trends, 'Ascent To Godhead', like it's 2014 predecessor 'England Have My Bones' is Earthling Society's own unique take on what we largely refer to as psych rock these days. They don't do psych rock by numbers though. This album is quite the weird trip. Needs to be heard as a complete album rather than individual tracks for the best experience. Some folks will notice the Alice Coltrane homage in the sleeve artwork, which was all hand painted for full retro effect.
The bonus CD-R album 'Crooked Under Moonlight' which came packaged exclusively with approx 150 copies of the LP is now completely SOLD OUT. There are no current plans to make this CD-R available again either on it's own or digitally. Thanks for the support!

Release Blurb :
Formed in 2010, The Cosmic Dead are a
quartet from Glasgow, Scotland who share their music through good
vibes and better vibrations. Known for their improv, chaos strewn,
Buckfast smashed against the wall take on space music, they have
roamed from Roadburn to Las Vegas, Dundee to Bangalore with each
album offering a meditative window into a certain time and space.
'Psych Is Dead' is the sixth full length
album from the band, the glowing embers of a a few days spent
recording in a sweaty Sardinian kitchen overlooking the
Mediterranean Sea. Soon to be available on LP and CD via Riot Season
Records, 'Psych Is Dead' is an aural exploration of their tumultuous
universe.
"Like a careening, uncontainable
torrent of Buckfast-powered kosmische chaos, whatever your feelings
towards the Scottish quartet's synth-washed space-jams on record,
their performance is something like having Ken Kesey and Spacemen 3
pour Irn-Bru directly into your third eye." - The Quietus
"The Cosmic Dead may hail from
Glasgow but their music sounds as if it were created in another
universe altogether" - Drowned in Sound
"A swirling, thudding vortex of
sound" - Echoes and Dust

album by soon to be new Japanese underground heroes HIBUSHIBIRE. The album will
be released on vinyl (magenta coloured / 500 copies) and on cassette
via sister label Swap Meat (75 copies). HIBUSHIBIRE are an Osaka based
Japanese hard psychedelic freak out rock band. The band was formed by
guitarist Chang Chang and bassist 821 as a improvisation jam rock band
in 2012, the present line-up has been in place since 2015
The present members are
Chang Chang (freak out
Guitar/Vocal) who makes shred guitar his strong point and is given the
nickname Psychedelic young nobleman
821 (freak out Bass/Chorus) who is
playing an active part by various bands
Ryu Matsumoto (freak out Drums) who
play with a large number of domestic and foreign musicians as
improvisation drummer.
The band which consists of a member with
many carriers, and their musical style changed to hard psychedelic
rock accompanied by several times of members change. The large portion
of the HIBUSHIBIRE's musicality is influenced by 60's hard rock, 70's
progressive rock and additionally various psychedelic music, and they
are pursuing original music committed to be ROCK and PSYCHEDELIC.
HIBUSHIBIRE were recently dubbed the
“Advance party of a next generation psychedelic rock band” by
Japanese freak out guitar guru Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple,
Mainliner etc
Freak Out Orgasm! is first studio album by
HIBUSHIBIRE in their 4th year.
They had chance to record studio album
during 4 years, several times, but they could not because of member
change etc
The ‘Freak Out Orgasm!’ album was
recorded in just one day at Helluva Lounge (their home ground venue),
and it was overdubbed with folk instruments
such as Zurna, Santur, and an electronic sound of synthesizer in order
to make more psychedelic.
It was mixed by producer Kawabata Makoto
of Acid Mothers Temple at his mountain top studio temple in Osaka. It
became more psychedelic and exciting by making him a producer. When
the show, they play songs with interplay, so it is often played long
length. Tracks that are included in the album are the shortest
version. ‘Deep Throat River Holy Mountain High’ is representative
song of HIBUSHIBIRE, and the band often play that various versions.
‘Freak Out Orgasm!’ is the album just like a business card for the
rock scene around the world to HIBUSHIBIRE. However, it might be not
limited to that.
The band have many musical influences,
amongst them being Acid Mothers Temple / High Rise / Mainliner / Blue
Cheer / Cactus / Captain Beefheart / Comets On Fire / Frank Zappa /
Funkadelic / Gong / Grand Funk Railroad / Hawkwind / King Crimson /
Mountain / Sun City Girls / Sir Load Baltimore / Trad Gras Och Stenar
/ Ash Ra Tempel / CAN / Black Sabbath etc
