Head/Phone/Over/Tone

If you love guitar atmospherics and the lush spellbinding webs of delicate feedback and shimmering haze that defined the UK shoe-gazer bands of the late '80s, you will adore Head/Phone/Over/Tone. Their music flows into two continuous suites. The minimalist dirge-wash "beach blue" bleeds into the dreamy title track that recalls the sonic soup Pink Floyd created in the more formless moments of their obscure More soundtrack. A comparable mood is generated during the aleatoric drift of "Reclining Nude." Songs like "Crazy" and "I Can Read Your Mind..." add light crunch to a project that is perfect beach headphone music.
