Severed Heads
Clifford Darling, Please Don't Live In The Past
Severed Heads are one of the longest surviving bands to emerge from the Australian post-punk independent music scene.
They began in Sydney in 1979, incorporating elements of 'industrial' noise-generation, tape cutting & looping and
electronic sound synthesis. As the project developed song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less
recognizable mutant electro pop style. After many line-up changes featuring Garry Bradbury and psychedelic guitarist
Simon Knuckey, Severed Heads was the vehicle for composer Tom Ellard.
All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in a jacket featuring brightly
colored, distorted, VHS graphics output by Stephen Jones' video synthesizer created by Tom Ellard video piece "Kato Gets
The Girl" in 1985, designed by Eloise Leigh. Each copy includes a fold-out poster with a color video still photo on one
side and liner notes and credits on the other. 30 years later Severed Heads' perverse creativity is still paving the way
for powerful imaginative challenging music far and wide.
