Titan
A Raining Sun Of Light And Love For You & You & You
Tee Pee Records
8/10
Many artists are reaching back to the music of the seventies for insight and much like Relapse artists Zombi, Titan looks toward acts like the celebrated space rock outfit Hawkwind for their imaginative pilfery. Aesthetically, the band keys in on a buzzing, low-key production that’s rife with effects but minimally reliant on digital manipulation, bringing forth a warm, organic tone that’s fully supported by kaleidoscope-infused organs, reverberating, richly saturated guitar runs and exploratory walking bass lines.
One glimpse at the towering, phallic testament to the wonders of psilocybin that’s ornately painted across the interior of this record’s digipak and listeners will glean that the sounds of the seventies aren’t the only things attractive to the creative minds of Titan.
It’s moments such as these that the term heavy metal was originally coined for by one William S. Burroughs with his mind-bending scribing during the sixties – a vast, cosmic exploration as such can only be borne of the breaching of reality via mind-altering substance.
No worries as to the individual pieces of music here, as “A Raining Sun Of Light And Love For You & You & You” is tailor-made for a good long buzz session. From wispy melodies to intense bouts of radioactive mind meltdown, this record is prime fodder for the burnout masses. Get in on the freak out.
