Church of Hed releases The Fifth Hour!

[TheNefariousHED]

Happy Summer Solstice! Here's the new Church of Hed album, The Fifth Hour. It features a return to the improvisational and immediate styles of their earlier release, The Fourth Hour, or even Quarkspace’s Spacefolds series. The music squarely resides in space, with deep Kosmische and Berlin School explorations informing the album’s psychedelic electronica and prog.

The band’s Paul Williams is joined on The Fifth Hour by Jonathan Segel, from indie-rock legends Camper Van Beethoven, on violin, guitar, and bass, as well as Quarkspace’s Stan Lyon, on bass and synth. Williams plays his usual array of synthesizers, keyboards, beatmakers, sequencers, and electrified drums.

Thank you! We appreciate the support. Fans of Quarkspace's Spacefolds series will find this album to be squarely in that vein. I've gotten a few comments on that already. I simply wanted a return to more spaced-out immediate music. Having Jonathan Segel excited to take part blew me away. Camper was a big inspiration in the late 80s for me, especially for just making psychedelic music part of the college/indie music scene again.
