Giant Skyflower Band Blood of the Sunworm CD / MP3 |
« SAB 018 · SAB 020 » |
Giant Skyflower Band's purpose is to examine in detail the idiom of Bummer Psych; the strain of damaged Anglo-pop music pioneered by Syd Barrett that arguably reached its apex with The Television Personalities’ Painted Word LP in the mid-80’s, but found new life in Japan via the genius of Tori Kudo and like-minded acts such as Nagisa Ni te and Tenniscoats. The band started when Glenn Donaldson invited multi-instrumentalist Shayde Sartin to “smoke marijuana & make up strange pop songs, ” and soon thereafter a transmission from their shoddy analog recording studio in San Francisco emerged: Blood of the Sunworm. Their debut consists of depressing pop songs and damaged instrumentals on a hazy, cryptic journey through a busted kaleidoscope, behind a dusty mirror & up through the rafters.
