Head Automatica - Decadence- Deluxe Edition - 2XLP

""The product speaks for itself. As soon as the needle rolls out of the lead-in groove and into ""The Speed Of A Yellow Bullet,""... hold on, candyasses-you realize that you're in the movie now. It hits perfectly. Head A works that jam confidently like they were called in to replace The MC5 at a headlining gig at a Black Panthers town hall meeting. And damn if Daryl doesn't sell it: That dropped couplet from The Mothers Of Invention's 1966 highmark debut Freak Out (""I saw the smoke and fire/and the market burning down"") smells like a passed torch once lit from inside a time machine. Then the downshift into ""Brooklyn Is Burning,"" where Nakamura's drum loops and chrome-plated spaghetti Western samples just heighten Palumbo's swagger in all the best ways."" from the liner notes by Jason Pettigrew Decadence appeared on the Billboard 200 and the Top Heatseekers charts and Palumbo formed a group to tour the U.S. alongside bands like The Cure and Interpol. Popaganda, the second Head Automatica album followed in 2006 and was supported by further touring with Taking Back Sunday, Avenged Sevenfold, and Jack's Mannequin, among others throughout the year and into 2007. By late 2007, they were working on their still-unissued third album which was completed in 2009. Unfortunately, creative differences with Warner Bros., led to both Head Automatica and Glassjaw parting ways with the label. Though the band toured the U.K. in 2012, it wasn't until 2023 that the band was active again. Now Decadence has been expanded and remastered with reimagined artwork to boot! Boasting eight bonus tracks and new liner notes from Jason Pettigrew, Decadence re-emerges from the early '00s in Deluxe Edition form and better than ever!
