Search - Sunburned Circle :: Blaze Game

"Authentic hippie jams, like those whipped up by the Massachusetts collective Sunburned Hand of the Man, operate like ritual magick ... Only serious students of psychedelia carefully craft freely flowing pointillist fretwork recalling Garcia's bluegrass picking and Creem-of-Clapton garage fuzz. Only true citizens of the universe then weave these strings through rhythms distilled from field recordings of ancient African and Middle Eastern cultures, as well as the Allman Brothers' Live at the Fillmore East." -- SF Weekly Sunburned Hand of the Man is a band in the loose sense of the word; it's better described as a banner under which a collective of musical freaks have gathered. So when the group toured Europe in September 2006 and ended up in the same room as psych/Kraut/hard rockers Circle in Finland, they decide to jam together and record all of it. This session was edited down to a total of forty minutes, which wanders through free folk, psych, improv, spaced-out hippie jamming, and noise-rock bizarreness. The collaboration of America and Finland's weirdest is nothing less than sensational!
