Art Pop

Githead formed initially as a one off for the swim label's 10th birthday bash in April 2004 and in spite of its "all star" line up - comprising Wire's Colin Newman, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), and Malka Spigel & Max Franken from Minimal Compact -- the band quickly established a life and voice of its own. Now 3 years after the band's debut we have Art Pop, Githead's 3rd release and most fully realized work to date. From the single chord build-up that serves as the intro to the album's opener, 'On Your Own' (a pop classic for the disenchanted), to the spaced-out delays that clang the final epic 'Live In Your Head', Art Pop is a real voyage.
