Once In A Lifetime – Deardarkhead Deliver Guitar-Driven Psychedelia on New Release
OUT of Atlantic City, NJ, and formed in 1988 alt rock trio DEARDARKHEAD unveil new video from recent album The Pendulum Swings – focus track ‘In Another Life.’
The first album in a quarter of a century, The Pendulum Swings is released via the band’s own Fertile Crescent Records, recorded at Philadelphia’s Miner Street Recordings, produced, engineered and mixed by Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey, and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Joe Lambert.
“‘The Pendulum Swings’ is a collection of both older and newer material that we are very proud of,” said drummer Robert Weiss. “Each song has its own distinct vibe, but they collectively make up the Deardarkhead sound. This was the second time we recorded at Miner Street Recordings, and we focused on trying new things with drum loops, different time signatures, backing keyboard tracks, using an ebow and bass VI, plus more guitar tracks than ever.”
Joining Weiss in the lineup are guitarist Kevin Harrington and bassist James Malizia who replaced Brandon Howard following the recording of the album.
