THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Open Head are a four-piece experimental ensemble from Kingston, N.Y.
With a taste for the concrete and the spectral, their new album What Is Success sources beauty in brutalist architecture, holography, and the remnants of industrialism that ornament the Hudson Valley landscape. The result is expansive, stratospheric in volume, and brutally material in its punctuation and delivery.
Drawing on New York no-wave and the avant-garde history of punk, noise, hip-hop and electronic music, Open Head present a sound that is itself a landscape — immediate, colossal, ruined and essential. The tracks on What Is Success are heavy, rhythmicaly complex and feature intricate two-guitar interplay.”
