Search - Parson Sound :: Parson Sound

This 2-CD set presents the most remarkable Swedish underground band, known in a later incarnation & continuation as International Harvester & Trad, Gras Och Stenar (Trees, Grass & Stones), & features both intricate studio recordings & orgiastic live performances. Parson Sound never released any records in their time & that is why a very few have heard about them at all. The recordings date from 1967/68 while the band explored unknown musical territory as well as inner- & outer space. In 1968 they were invited by Andy Warhol to play at the opening of his exhibition Screens, Films, Boxes, Clouds & a Book, at the museum of Modern Art in Stockholm & also opened for the Doors. Influenced by the musical concepts of Terry Riley, Parson Sound worked at discovering & perfecting their own unique approach towards the mixing of rock & minimalism. They created some of the most remarkable psych- trance- drone- pre-noise music- rock sounds ever recorded. Parson Sound's music described contexts, interplay & organic growth & shaped a conception of the world - an opposite of fragmentation, individual achievements & intellectual construction. This world was to be perceived as one body, a whole of inviolable parts. Subliminal Sounds.
