‘Headless’ by Sunburned Hand Of The Man

Cardinal Fuzz and Manhand are proud to present to you Sunburned Hand Of The Man – ‘Headless’.

Entering their third decade of making Acid Fried transmissions, Massachusetts’ Sunburned Hand Of The Man not only continue to live and breathe but are producing some of their finest work.

Championed by the likes of Julian Cope, Thurston Moore and Byron Coley, Sunburned Hand Of The Man recorded ‘Headless’ back in Jan 2017 and was originally released as ‘Intentions’ in an edition of 20 cassettes by Microdose/Sunburned. This 2020 Vinyl edition (Cardinal Fuzz / Manhand) is a 300 vinyl pressing presented in a 350gsm Gloss Laminated Cover with download code.

“SHOTM are as eclectic and essential as they have ever been”

‘Headless’ features the five strong SHOTM collective Freewheeling and grooving. Opening track ‘Prism Mirror Lens’ hits an acoustic Acid back porch acoustic scorch reminiscent of Phil Pearlman ala Relatively Clean Rivers before leading into the electronic kraut splutter of ‘Experiments’, ‘Born Clever’ has a spacily jazzoid prog/psych groove that would run rings around Saturn and then the deep fried freewheeling wild boogie ‘The Great Hope’ provide an ecstatic opening.

Sunburned Hand Of The Man have never been afraid to explore psychedelic consciousness and on ‘Headless’ there is not one single bad trip as they smoulder and tease via a range of on fluences that take in psych-folk, Paradieswärts Düül and the great Swedish Silence label. SHOTM are as eclectic and essential as they have ever been and ‘Headless’ is a crucial entry to the wild and shamanic catalogue of Sunburned Hand Of The Man.

Recorded at Black Dirt Studio, January 26-29, 2017 by Jason Meagher. (Parts of “Framework” recorded at Conrad’s Cosmic Cottage.) Sounds by John Moloney, Jeremy Pisani, Ron Schneiderman, Robert Thomas, Gary War.
