Reviews and Comments
With 'What Is Success,' Open Head have pulled off a rare feat: making a record that is genuinely contemporary, deeply engaged with the present moment musically and socially, while keeping their point of view thoroughly rooted in the underground. The twitchy, propulsive rhythms of tracks like “House” and “Catacomb” would sound out of place neither at a sweaty basement show nor in a DJ set of nocturnal UK bass music.
Open Head is a 4 piece experimental ensemble from Kingston, New York. With a taste for the concrete and the spectral, their new album 'What Is Success' sources beauty in brutalist architecture, holography, and the remnants of industrialism that ornament the Hudson Valley landscape. The result is expansive, stratospheric in volume, and brutally material in its punctuation and delivery. Drawing on New York no-wave and the avant-garde history of punk, noise, hip-hop and electronic music, Open Head presents a sound that is itself a landscape–immediate, colossal, ruined and essential.
Open Head is Jared Ashdown, Brandon Minervini, Jon McCarthy, and Dan Schwartz.
