Øresund Space Collective Offer Reprieve from the Matrix on Oct. 10; Tour Dates Announced
Not exactly the timeliest reference, but I’ll give it to Øresund Space Collective anyway, because their endless space jams are so damn spacy. The amorphous Copenhagen unit will issue their 14th album, Give Your Brain a Rest from the Matrix, in a digipak on Oct. 11.
The prolific jammers may not always have the same lineup, but their vibe-heavy approach never fails to satisfy. Give Your Brain a Rest from the Matrix was recorded in 2010 and features members of Siena Root along with Dr. Space and his merry band of tripped-out weirdos. Dig it:

Give Your Brain A Rest From The Matrix is a limited edition CD digipak and digital only release with a potential for a double LP release in the future. It is the 14th proper release by the Øresund Space Collective. The music on this release was born on Sept 26th, 2010, the same recording session as the Entering into the Space Country and Phaze your Fears.
four tracks feature sitar. PIB played the drums, Nick played the bass and they were joined by me and Mogens on synthesizer, Johan Dahlström (First Band from Outer Space), Mathias Danielsson (My Brother the Wind, Gösta Berlings Saga), well asClaus Bøhling (Hurdy Gurdy, Secret Oyster, Elektrum). KG plays guitar, Hammond, sitar and synthesizer. The music is 4 tracks, all between 10 and 25 minutes in length, with an eastern vibe and feeling and some amazing heart felt guitar. Steve, who mixed the record, provides one short synthesizer overdub on the last track on the CD.”In addition, the band is about to kick off their first ever real tour (7 shows in 10 days). Dr. Space says: “I hope we will meet some of you on the tour. We will also have a special tour shirt made with the dates on the back.
