  • Bio

    Rising from the landlocked Black Country of England in the early 80's, Head Of David were a genetically modified product, bleeding clogged metallic arteries into the densest industrial smog. After an indulgent ten minute set at the Courthouse in Dudley one typically rainy evening in front of the newly formed Blast First records, Head Of David signed on the smudged dotted line, becoming the sole label mates of the emerging Sonic Youth. A couple of months later the first mini album - 'Dogbreath' - was recorded at Radio Trent, Nottingham. The first HOD Peel session was added to 'Dogbreath' to make 'LP'. This was followed by the albums, 'Dustbowl' and 'Seed State', featuring varying line ups. Always a reluctant live band, HOD split in 1991, playing their final gig at the Axiom in Houston, Texas, vowing never to walk onstage ever again. But what is a vow worth. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    FATES - MURKY CIRCUITS
    OUT NOW!

    Fates release a series of recording sessions made at Harvestworks, the foundation co-founded by Bob Moog.

    PRESS REACTIONS

    "Nebulous post-industrial soundscapes constantly tweaked and realigned to create one of the most original electronic records of the year to date. 4.5/5" - THE MILK FACTORY

    "Literally one in a million; tweaking and meshing uncommon sounds to create one of the most original electronic pieces I have heard all year. Abstract art for the ears most certainly." - AW MUSIC

    "A post-glitch triumph that goes by quickly but not without making one’s head spin." - CYCLIC DEFROST

    "Murky Circuits sounds like a highly caffeinated robot took over a decrepit Radio Shack and had its way with anything it could grab." - CHUBBY JONES

    "Dizzying and compelling." - BRAINWASHED
