PH

Frank Herbert once said, "without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens." On 'Osiris Hayden', PH (formerly Mr. Peter Hayden), have shed their blistering, snake-like skin and wound their unusual path into a new garden of unearthly delights. Still referring to themselves simply by the PH monogram, their fifth full-length release embraces a deep symbolic form of rebirth and regeneration. Like an Ostrobothnian F�llakzoid, experimental electronic soundscapes pulverise with panache and a pop-like sensibility. 'Osiris Hayden' is contemporary Finno-Ugric krautrock, in keeping with the band's earlier work but much more cinematic in scope than ever before. Vangelis-inducing, distorted Blade Runner landscapes give way to the march of slick Terminator machines crushing human bones under foot. Psychonaut futurism from a band fusing genres ahead of their own time, and in a strange but logical evolution of the PH journey.
