We assure you our rip is properly cracked. Enjoy. - It was 2003 when the Warlocks first crashed your consciousness. Layers of guitar, multitudes of drums, immeasureable amounts of aural narcotic. That was Phoenix. Two years have passed, and the Warlocks have used the time to steep their psychedelic gloom in rich texture reminiscent of Phil Spector’s greatest works. Holed up in warm California studios, frontman Bobby Hecksher translated his current listening (Shangri-Las, Ronnettes) into modern tales of life and death; his own heartbreak and rollercoaster existence serving as roadmaps for the band’s trademark gritty melody. This is Surgery. "The aim was to create some new rock n’ roll hybrid: sonic space-age doo-wop! I wanted the album to sound bigger, fuller, sicker than before," enthuses Hecksher. The band’s make-up has changed only slightly, with original bassist Jenny Fraser and new drummer Bob Mustachio coming to the fold. As before, the rest of the group lines up as: JC Rees (guitar), Corey Lee Granet (guitar), Laura Grigsby (tambourine and organ), Jason Anchondo (drums) and Bobby Hecksher (guitar, lead vocals). In gearing up for the AUGUST 23 release of Surgery on MUTE, the Warlocks will play selected dates with fellow dreamers and sonic brethren, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, as well as making an appearance at this year’s LOLLAPALOOZA.
