 Our first release of 2020 is a deluxe 2xLP reissue of Severed HeadsÆ debut 1981 album
 æCleanÆ. One of the longest surviving bands to emerge from the Australian post-punk
 independent music scene, they began in Sydney in 1979. Severed Heads is basically a
 nom- de-plum for Tom Ellard, who incorporates elements of æindustrialÆ noise-
 generation, tape cutting & looping and electronic sound synthesis. As the project
 developed song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less recognizable
 mutant electro pop style.

 æCleanÆ was amongst the first vinyl releases under the Dogfood Productions banner of
 Terse Tapes, previously a cassette-only label. For this records Tom used an array of
 synthesizers (Kawai 100F, Casiotone, Roland CR78+SH1+CSQ100), sequencers, tapes and
 occasional guitar and violin played by Garry Bradbury. Severed Heads have a language
 of their own, music that juxtaposes all sorts of noise, in all sorts of ways so that
 a structure evolves, (fragmented) melody and rhythm being almost a by-product. As one
 reviewer said in 1981, ôIt is an ugly album that you simply cannot ignore, it thuds
 and screeches and makes you stare just to wonder what kind of people would procure
 such an album.ö For this deluxe reissue weÆve included a bonus disc featuring 13
 songs, 5 of which have never been released before, culled from live performances, the
 æSide 3Æ cassette and a æCleanÆ demo tape that only surfaced last year, plus "Food
 City" missing from previous reissues.

 All songs have been remastered by Tom Ellard, with vinyl EQ and lacquer cutting by
 George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each copy is housed in a gatefold jacket
 featuring black and white xeroxed artwork from the first vinyl edition. Inside the
 gatefold are liner notes by Tom Ellard plus photos and press clippings from the
 period. ôæCleanÆ is original and powerful and everybody should listen to it at least
 once, just so they know where the boundaries lie.ö Ashley Crawford, Virgin Press
 1981. 25% of proceeds will be donated to the Australian Fire Relief Fund for First
 Nations Communities, that offers specific direct support to some of those communities
 with critical costs to cover expenses.
