Release Notes
Sun, surf, and self-hypnosis: all the core particles for a perfect Pacific zone
dream-day/daydream. And Beach Head is the soundtrack, in case you were wondering.
Hot on the heels of MayÆs masterful coconut-dub Boat Trip EP comes Magic Lantern-bearer
Cameron StallonesÆ latest loner luau under the Sun Araw umbrella, and itÆs an equatorial
escape of the highest order. Unlike his NNF debut, The Phynx, Beach Head drops the drones
and cosmic distortion (for the most part) in favor of slippery banana peel smoke stacks,
undulating tropical hallucinations, and crystal/coastal moods. Waves, rare birds, and
swaying palms cameo in the background. Across the LPÆs four snaky rhythm reveries
Stallones maps a loose, blissed void of voice, island bass-lines, and shimmering sunset
electricity, inviting all to drift in and float on. ItÆs a total hit parade, top to
bottom, might as well glue it to the turntable and weld the whole rig into yr yellow
convertible and park that shit in the sand. Fans of Ducktails, imaginary Jimmy Buffet
demos, and long walks on the beach will sleep easy on this grass mat. Black vinyl LPs
in matte jackets, plus a pro-printed 11x11 insert, with artwork by head beacher C.
Stallones. Edition of 420.
