Tar Halos

***Like the sound of Salton Sea-creatures, dried in Death Valley, TAR HALOS is an all-encompassing entity; this San Diego based psych-rock iteration of “the sound” being comprised of five desultory elements, each crudely assimilated to one another in a broodingly raw aural mix. The resultant entity lacks conventions and so exists in a constant state of irreality, their presence being compared variously to that of a pig-dog in heat or a dark stare to the back of a head. Reverb and screeching synths swell and echo, unabashed sound that seduces listeners away from their own cherished realities. Wine Hand marks the entity’s vinyl debut, its intentions still ambiguous. For fans of Psychic Ills, Moon Duo, Chrome, Spacemen 3, Throbbing Gristle, Pere Ubu, Syd Barrett and Ghost.
