0680316002921 / FDRLP021 / Koolarrow Records – New and Unplayed (M/M) – LP (USA) – 180 gram vinyl – Limited Edition of 500 Hand-numbered copies – USA Record Store Day / Black Friday 2012 release !
House of Hayduk is the brainchild of the Danish/American composer producer and musician Mads Heldtberg; the idea rooted in the belief that there is a common musical thread shared by both musicians and music fans that transcends genre age and aesthetic.
In this spirit the foundation of the album focuses on 3 generations of players –Bill Gould (FAITH NO MORE) Charles Hayward (THIS HEAT) and Mads Heldtberg (DÜREFÖRSÖG) meeting up and recording in a studio in New York; from there comes deconstructing reassembling and adding of additional musicians to create four entirely new linear pieces of music.
Drums radiate a sense of power doom and darkness that is both profoundly human; and as chaotic and unforgiving as a force of nature. Hard driving monolithic bass that begs to be experienced on a massive sound system. Shards of surgical guitar slice through thick vapor accompanied by a symphony of exotic percussion. Filtered through a dub-like hypnotic lens “City of Quartz” is a a musical indulgence refined with obsessive detail; this album wasn’t written–it was designed with intent.
