Heat Chief press just keeps coming... this little blurb from one of my favorite music writers, Simon Reynolds made my day.

WZT Hearts, Heat Chief
been lurking in my promo stack for a while so might be ancient, reprieved thanks to its wazzily psychedelic cover (some kind of Op Art/ethnic rug art installation, you can see it here ) but on finally playing it I enjoyed the lambent-ambient wooze of it all and especially the short final track which has a nice ghostified waver to it.

In other news, we made it back from our 2 week tour just fine... had a blast, met great folks and can't wait to do it again. We will be mixing our to be titled second album in the next month. It should see an early fall release on Carpark/Hoss with touring (US and hopefully Europe) to follow.

Heat Chief keeps on popping up in the strangest places!

just found this Russian review today... we scored a 314,598 out of 320,919!?!?!? that's gotta be good right?

poorly translated text below

"With the surface acquaintance with the artifact immediately attention is drawn to the following curious detail: neither booklet nor counter nor "pancake" bear customary information about the executor. Possible explanation of this solution - desire to remove from our field of sight the confronting after the sonic landscapes personality. Moreover, the numerous signs of old times (cloth with the national patterns and the tools of people trade, placed in the space of rural cottage) make it possible to speak even about the clearly "planned" dispatch of listener to the time of doavtorskogo creation. Going deeply into the study of formulation, one cannot fail to note that antiquity everywhere is nearby here with such attributes of the urbanisticheskoy present as road sign, plastic bucket and bright rubber ball a similar combination of elements of different epochs we observe also at the sonic level of the work: infernal notches on the radio receiver passed through distortion and studies of studio effects in the spirit of the 80th (recycling and the wall of sound from delay, flanger and reverb (Coil, Nurse With Wound), are combined here first with the elements of contemporary microelectronics, then with ancient tribal- rhythms of different intensity (from the defocused impacts to furious kamlaniya). Estimation: 314598 of 320919. To 9321 marks we fine executor (infinitely doubting that effected) for unsuccessful, in our opinion, combination in the space of one work of elements European (formulation) and African (rhytmics) antiquities and 3000 marks we compensate for the use in the record of the present drums, which gave record unprecedented for the noise music heat and cosiness."


also thanks to XLR8R Magazine's Toph One who gave Heat Chief a shoutout in his montly Lucky 13 column!
