Blue Sausage Infant

Flight of the Solstice Queens

Label: Zeromoon Country: USA

"A deep dose of sonic escapism served in a variety of flavors, from the layered drone of pure head music to earthy krautrock grooves, full-on noise, and sound collage. With assistance by Michael Shanahan (Reanimation, drums), Jason Mullinax (Pilesar, percussion & acoustics), Gary Rouzer (of Vector Trio, bass & amplified textures), and Jeff Surak (Violet , other)."-Blue Sausage Infant

"It opens up with a piece of plunderphonica and it ends with a lengthy, multi-layered drone piece. In between we had several krautrock pieces, a noise outing, quiet pieces. It would easy to say that the diversity of this release is a bit too much, but curiously enough it isn't. Its as coherent as listening to a nice alternative radio broadcast (does that exist? certainly not in the Vital-world). Its an entertaining set of music here. Nothing lasts very long as there is even variety inside tracks, such as 'Space'. Here opening with noise, but then a voice comes in and the music tones down to a mild violent ambience. Music that is made with some imagination, and care, and dare. This guy might be all over the place, but he knows what he is doing. An excellent release."-Vital Weekly

"Flight of the Solstice Queens succeeds in inducing a trance-like sensation, even for those who may be less open to non-traditional sounds." -DCist.com
