Two Headed Emperor: With smart lyrics and music that is full of exciting ideas.

Peter Ashby and Barry Lambmade their  first recorded together in 1976 as teenagers. They became part of a vibrant and immediate cassette culture movement releasing their own diy tapes initially under the name of Frenzid Melon. Their unique brand of edgy, punk influenced art rock has proved popular with cassette culture collectors all around the globe. Several collaborations, projects and decades later they founded the band Two Headed Emperor. Deracination is their new and third album.

Deracination offers classic prog fronted by Hammond organ. Barry Lamb`s vocal is heartfelt and very good, and the lyrics is as always meaningful and interesting. Peter Ashby plays guitar from top shelf. Sitar and wind instruments sounds and outer space details adds an extra and exciting vibe.

Pretty scary and alien sounds comes and goes in front and then they return to the background and back again to the musical surface. This is conceptual music and very exciting and unique sonic landscapes

The Two Headed Emperor duo bring together new technology and classic prog sensibilities to create smart lyrics and music that is full of exciting ideas and musical concepts creating a unique progressive sound that is inspired by progressive giants like Genesis, Vand Der Graaf Generator, Soft Machine, King Crimson, Capatin Beefheart and many others.
