Farflung Announce Unwound Celluloid Frown EP out in April on Heavy Psych Sounds

Posted in Whathaveyou on January 30th, 2017 by JJ Koczan

Underrated (at least in the US) Los Angeles space rockers Farflung continue their association with Italian imprint Heavy Psych Sounds with the forthcoming EP, Unwound Celluloid Frown, which is out in April, and an impending European tour to coincide. Makes sense to me. If I was Farflung, I’d go back to Europe too. Hell, I’d go back to Europe if I was me, and I am, so uh… space rock, right? That’s what I get for actually listening to Farflung while I write this post: scrambled brains.

Anyhoozle, Unwound Celluloid Frown follows-up the band’s entrancingly cosmic 2016 full-length, 5 (review here), which Heavy Psych Sounds also issued. It’s a pretty quick turnaround for 33 minutes of new music, even for a space rock band, so I don’t know if it’s from the same sessions as the album or what, but whatever. New Farflung is cool by me whatever its point of origin. Take what I can get.

This was beamed in via the PR wire:

Cosmic space lords Farflung return with their new Ep ‘Unwound Celluloid Frown’ 33 minutes of lysergic grooves and slamming riffs…. Imagine, as if the bastard child of Amon Duul ii and Hawkwind arose from the ashes of America….stark and glimmering……bathed in the energetic glow of the Stooges….one last cup raised to the lunatics and wishing for wounds…. They have set their course for the farthest reaches of the universe….

Are you ready? Are you ready to climb aboard their craft? Fasten your safety belts, engage your breathing apparatus…the lift off is about to begin….

Farflung Announce New Album 5 Due May 27

Posted in Whathaveyou on March 3rd, 2016 by JJ Koczan

The May 27 release of Farflung‘s new album, 5, on Heavy Psych Sounds coincides with the long-underappreciated Californian space rockers’ previously-announced appearance at Freak Valley 2016. I don’t know if that appearance is coming as a part of a tour or not, but the new album reportedly finds the band veering into the desert, stylistically and literally, which seems fair enough coming after Farflung‘s kosmiche split with Fatso Jetson (review here), released in 2015 also via Heavy Psych Sounds, and should only make them all the more welcome at the German festival that will apparently play host to its release. No audio yet, but May’s still a ways off. Plenty of time for such things.

Cover art is suitably spacious. That and the info for the album follow here, hoisted off the PR wire:

L.A. space rock legends FARFLUNG unveil artwork and details of their new album “5”, out this May on Heavy Psych Sounds.

Los Angeles-based cult space rock outfit FARFLUNG is proud to announce the release of their long-awaited new album “5” on Heavy Psych Sounds this spring.

It’s been eight years since long-running Californian space rockers FARFLUNG released their last full-length A Wound In Eternity. After a handful of split releases in the early 2010’s, the band is back with their long-awaited follow up on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

This new album entitled 5 features guest appearances by the likes of Nik Turner (Hawkwind), David Catching (QOTSA, EODM) and Gene Trautmann (QOTSA, EODM). It was recorded at Saturn Moon Studio, Tarantula Ranch and Rancho de la Luna, conferring upon the record a recognizable desert sound.
