Soundtrack Event I: Uranian Fire, by SOLAR MAXIMUM

Soundtrack Event I: Uranian Fire

by SOLAR MAXIMUM

supported by

Bill Boethius This is an incredible piece of work as it is so zoned in as a total concept. It is full on, flat out and limber. It is the maxiumus of solaris. The bass is the maximum bass. The riffs are the ultimate riffs. The sound aches with perfection. The ensemble roars. I am told it is two bass guitars with drums. If so, it takes the three piece to the zenith. Nothing more, nothing less. Best thing I've heard for a long, long time. Thanks to Droning Earth for promoting it. Favorite track: A Large White Bird Bearing a Message.

about

"Psychedelia can take the form of an explosion or an implosion. In this case, it’s the latter. Instead of saturating every musical surface with vibrant, fluid plumes of happening, Solar Maximum press into the transcendence of simple, solitary movements. Uranian Fire is built from two bass guitars, embellished with nothing except distortion and wah pedals, occasionally driven by the most functional thumps of drum machine...For the first 10 seconds of each of these pieces, Solar Maximum are playing a tectonically slow form of rock ‘n’ roll. After five minutes, they’re simply bodies humming in harmonic alignment, liberated from the burden of purpose, stripped from the clutter of semantics."-ATTN:Magazine, 16 Nov 2016

"...enchanting improvised minimalism, 2 bass guitars crawling sweetly."
-DroningEarth Blog, Dec.15,2015

"Solar Maximum's new work has a surrealistic, Eraserhead kind of feel. The music evokes a posterized imagery in black and white with the low-frequency sound. The bass is heavy and rich, and it has the sound of belonging in a David Lynch movie soundtrack..."
-Fiberglass Jacket Blog, Tues., Dec.15, 2015
