23. SEVERED
HEADS-“DEAD EYES OPENED” 12” (7/15) (***Severed Heads are one of the
longest standing bands to have emerged from the Australian post-punk and
experimental scene. They began in Sydney in 1979, and were an early outfit to
incorporate elements of industrial noise-generation, tape-cutting and 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.
After many lineup changes featuring Gary Bradbury and psychedelic guitarist Simon
Knuckey, the project became the solo vehicle for composer Tom Ellard. In 1983
Severed Heads released a C-60 cassette called Since the Accident that grabbed
the attention of Ink Records, a subsidiary of Virgin in the UK. Ellard added a
throwaway track at the last minute to fill out the cassette, not wanting to
leave an unseemly gap at the end. The song, "Dead Eyes Opened," was
catchy enough to get a lot of airplay on the main noncommercial radio station
in Sydney, and the band was asked to make it into a 12-inch single. For this
extended version, Ellard and producer Patrick Gibson went to M-Squared studio
and passed the multi-tracked recordings through various EQs and delays.
"Dead Eyes Opened" features samples from a radio program narrated by
Edgar Lustgarten, a crime journalist from England, referencing a double-murder
case that occurred in 1924. The rhythms are made by a TR-808 drum machine and
an SH-1 synthesizer. A KORG PolySix was used for strings and additional
atmospheric elements. The lead solo was a Casiotone run through an Octaver foot
pedal. On the B-side are two solo compositions, "Bullet" and
"Mount," that Ellard recorded at Terse Tapes in 1982. All songs are
remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in
the original jacket featuring the iconic photograph of a girl with a painted
face wrapped in some cloth by Juilee Pryor, each copy includes a foldout
newsprint poster with a large photo of the band wearing Art Unit skull shirts
on one side and liner notes and press clippings on the other. 30 years later,
Severed Heads are still paving the way for powerful, imaginative and
challenging music.)
