Severed Heads reattach themselves to Dark Entries for an expanded reissue of their 1991 opus Cuisine (With Piscatorial). As originary Aussie industrial legends \u2013 although founder Tom Ellard would balk at being branded as such \u2013 Severed Heads shaped the continental subcultural sound with their kitchen electronics, chaotic tape loops, and infectious nursery-rhyme-esque melodies. Cuisine (With Piscatorial) was the long-running project\u2019s ninth album, and is a commentary on the state of music. Ellard explains: \u201cThe whole food joke is really about what music’s about and how disposable it is; people have records like they have cups of coffee.\u201d The album also presents a turn away from the dancefloor formalism of the era, which Ellard dismissed as already sufficiently explored. Cuisine brings us punchy pop kernels of the prime Heads variety, all clocking in around three minutes. Cuts like \u201cPilot in Hell\u201d and \u201cUgly Twenties\u201d rank among the band\u2019s best through their deadly skewering of synth pop tropes. But the album also offers us a Piscatorial section, where Ellard felt free to \u201cgo fishing for ideas.\u201d Here we get a taste of the project\u2019s demented cut-up sensibilities, like on the \u201cQuest for Oom Pa Pa\u201d suite, where vintage jazz records are collaged into an angular nightmare. This double-LP reissue is the first time that Cuisine (With Piscatorial) will appear on vinyl, with a previously unreleased early version of \u201cSeven of Oceans.\u201d Also included is a 6-page booklet with liner notes, lyrics, and press clippings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
