HEADDRESS is the 21st century blues man – only shot through a fractal lens, heavily abusing the traditions until it is a blues spiritualist ritual and resurrection. Formed in 2006, part-heshers, part-American nomads. They self-released their first EP Silence is the Golden Mountain under the moniker Worship, while living in tents along the south fork of the Yuba River. A year later they followed up with their first full length album Turquoise as a limited CDR and traveled the country, sleeping in a van or out under the stars, but eventually ending up in New York City. The vinyl only label Mexican Summer, a subsidiary of Kemado, reissued the album in September 2008 coinciding with a US tour with Dungen. They entered the studio to record their follow-up soon after. Written in the desert but recorded during an endless New York City winter, Lunes, released in June 2009 on No Quarter, is a dark meditation on Americana. It’s the blues shaped by the avant-compositions of La Monte Young and Dylan Carlson. It’s drone rooted deep in the American tradition. After mind-bending sets at Austin Psych Fest 3 and South by Southwest in 2010, Headdress completely dropped off the map. Two years went by without a trace. Then, out of nowhere, they rose from the ashes as a five-piece at this year's Austin Psych Fest 5. They have since cut a two song 12" EP, recorded at 45rpm and are currently working on a full-length.
