NEW RELEASE :::
The latest album in the Piehead Records 2002 limited edition series was
released on July 11th and is now available for purchase (ordering details
below):
PIE006 : Multiplex : _Iroquois_
Multiplex is brothers Christian and Roland. Originally from suburban
London, they moved to a small English coastal fishing town in Sussex and
made music initially to offset the boredom. While some inspiration is drawn
from the London club scene, the duo prefer a darker, more atmospheric or
filmic approach to sound. They now have an ocean separating them (Christian
lives in Canada near Toronto, while Roland remains in England), but
continue to create music together through a collection of various eclectic
musical toys such as soft analog and digital synthesizers. _Iroquois_ is a
collection of tracks made during 2001 into early 2002 and includes original
tracks alongside remixes from fellow electronic artists ISDS, Spark, Ob,
Guy James and The Blameshifter.

PREVIOUS RELEASES :::
PIE005 : Your Favourite Horse : _I Would Close My Eyes But All I See Is The
Massacre_
"Accelera Deck is no more, hurray for Your Favourite Horse... strumming
guitars and singing songs... sounds of vinyl skipping and laptoppy sound
processing... a mixture that seems impossible, but much to my surprise it
works well... the acoustic guitar album Fennesz has not made yet..."
[Frans de Waard - Vital Weekly]

PIE004 : I8U : _grasshopper morphine_
"...an intense and engaging new release by this Montreal sound artist...
plenty of contemplative moments, where the sound fills your space with an
incredible depth and presence, and there are plenty of dissonant moments as
well, to keep your ears on edge."
[Vils M DiSanto - Incursion Music Review]

PIE003 : David Kristian : _My Three Suns_
"I think the finest output (from Piehead) so far is definitely by David
Kristian, he is always sure to add that extra punch in his tunes, always
treading into the more chaotic forms of experimentation, and it simply
'works'."
[Pietro Da Sacco - Igloo Magazine]

PIE002 : hellothisisalex : _the canadian spelling program_
"Sweet, light-hearted Casio tones are coupled with the dated, yet warm and
lush sound of Moog synthesisers... a quirky musical foray into warped
synth-pop via keyboards and other musical machines."
[I. Khider - Exclaim]

PIE001 : ARC/Aidan Baker : _Repercussion_
"...mixing and alternating ambient and rhythmic elements with perfect
grace. Lovely, absolutely lovely. The best thing you haven't heard so far
this year."
