Like Drones in Honey
Published on
Edition: 500
Farflung from Los Angeles have been around since 1994 and their tenth album proves that after nearly 30 years, the band is still among the most exciting acts that international space rock has to offer. Like Drones In Honey is already the second Farflung release on Sulatron Records and it’s a perfect fit. Eight tracks full of Hawkwind DNA, Zappa-esque humor, psychedelic drones and Krautrock drive. Twisted, unpredictable yet always captivating.
Acid Drain opens with growls, film samples and psychedelic fuzz, making it immediately clear what to expect: a band that refuses to be pigeonholed and shows no mercy. Earthmen Look Alike To Me is cosmic groove with an almost dancing lightness. King Fright and Tiny Cities Made Of Broken Teeth show the harder, alienated side. Touch Of The Lemmings Kiss and A Year In Japan the surreal-experimental one. Tommy Grenas, also known from Nik Turner's Space Ritual, The Brain and Chrome, is a frontman who can do whisper, roar, sing and growl.
The band collective led by Tommy Grenas and Michael Esther consistently makes music for anyone who wants to hear Hawkwind and Zappa mentioned in the same breath.
Also available as LP on 180 gram white vinyl made in Germany and limited to 500 copies, including a download code!
