Headland

***In 2013 HEADLAND produced the LP soundtrack to accompany a collection of 1970s surf film fragments site-specific to the northern coast of New South Wales: an album of guitar-based music seemingly poised between the open spaces of the landscape and the stylized rhythm of single-fin surfing. This latest release, Cosy, maintains the essence of that project, providing five easy pieces that reflect on Australian surf-culture of the ‘70s and hint at an upcoming full-length release. Headland’s main contributors are MURRAY PATERSON, known elsewhere for his work with TEX PERKINS & THE DARK HORSES, and JOEL SILBERSHER, founding member of seminal Australian Rock bands GOD and HOSS. Fans of the likes of Giant Sand / early Calexico / Scenic / Sun Kil Moon would be advised to take a dip. Limited edition of 500 copies pressed on clear vinyl with download.
