Field Recordings from the Sun

Field Recordings from the Sun is the follow up to Comets on Fire's first album released in a private press of 500 vinyl copies in 2001 ( since then re-released on Alternative Tentacles). With 'Field Recordings', gone is the punk leanings hailed by the underground critical fair upon the first album's release. In it's place is left only towering tombs of natural ethereal beauty and pure sonic destruction set above a cosmic freight train of unhinged riffs and jagged grooves.

Among musicians joining Comets on Field Recordings are . Tim Green of the Fucking Champs, who partakes in an improvised sky ripping solo battle against three other guitarists, including Ben Chasny of Sic Organs of Admittance who plays utterly destroyed lead guitar on the album throughout. If Exuma, Blue Cheer, Albert Ayler, Mitch Mitchell, Nanjo and the Zombie of John Cippolina all met on the Blue Highway, wasted on golden whiskey and cocaine, there they would throw on Field Recordings from the Sun on a trashed boombox while shooting pistols at their tracers. This is west coast psychedelia, hang on to your eardrums !
