Holy Cobras Dead Bodies Float in Space (Campaign For Infinity) Ottawa, ON ::web/sounds:: |
Slow-forward to the future. Turn left and you’ll never see Han Solo shoot, having been blasted by the 28 shots of Mos Eisleyian whiskey and bravely translucent pressure waves emanating from a new Cantina band: the Holy Cobras. Dead Bodies Float in Space is Hawkwind re-imagined inside an alternate nowhere, far removed form any human consciousness; pulsing, wasted synth coursing through psychedelic veins feeding life into tired, synthetic limbs grabbing every adjective needed to self-identify. It’s a new sound for new believers and I bet their live show is more cathartic than church could ever dream of being. The cassette sounds like shit in way that further mystifies its origins; Canada Post leasing a Millennium Falcon to bring back treasures from the world of Hollywood magic. Press play, close your eyes and witness Stacia, naked, undulating next to dead, floating bodies. Campaign For Infinity is on to something. A++++++++.

The Co-bros rule. Sometimes I wear a picture of Dan Druff on my chest for days.
ah man i didnt think these sounded that bad.. i changed my whole set-up to real time for no quality loss. Not sure if yr commenting on the recordings or the tape quality. ah whatevs i give up. Cobras fuckin rule… the 9 min version of ‘Mohammed ya ya’ up on their page kills.
I think to our ears they sound OK. To a layman it sounds like a one-mic-in-a-room with a lot of tape-hiss (could be from a tape rip – do the Cobras have a digital rip?). If you listen well you’ll get the point and the greatness will emerge. If someone went in blind, they might surprised by the lack of fidelity.
The tape is really, really good, though. And, thankfully, the best song (title track) has the best sound.

Might have been recorded that way not sure. that link contains all the original digital rips… there are like maybe 2-3 of these left anyways. People that missed out can buy them from FLORIDAS DYING and KILL SHAMAN distros soon. I can’t wait for the 7″ on telephone explosion early next year.
has there been any line up changes? i saw these guys in toronto and wasn’t sure if it was them or not.
Yeah it was recorded pretty ghetto. Soak in the atmosphere.
yeah half new lineup
