Desolation Row

Richard Pinhas is one of the most uncompromising artists on the international rock scene, having remained constantly innovative and true to his personal artistic vision for 40 years. He founded the legendary 70s band Heldon, whose albums are considered some of the earliest releases of 'electronic rock' extant. He is one of France's best known experimental musicians and is a key figure in the international development of electronic music fused with rock. This new album features him in collaboration with well known avant-garde / experimental music names like Lasse Marhaug and Oren Ambarchi, (both of whom have collaborated with Sunn O)))], Noel Akchote and Etienne Jaumet (half of the French duo Zombie Zombie). The styles range from spacey drones to psychedelic guitar rock to lurching, overwhelming mechanical racket.
