Hawkwind Triad

the hawkwind triad album is a fitting tribute to the british band that somehow seems to be simultaneously unheard by the majority of the world's rock listeners, while also standing as one of the most influential psychedelic bands of all time. the triad is unique; it is an album of covers by three separate artists that essentially flows like an album. each band - harvestman (steve von till of neurosis), minsk, and us christmas - has approached these 11 iconic songs with respect, but each have also recognised the need for the songs to be reinterpreted in a new space and time. the result is a full-length psychedelic feast that not only captures the feel of hawkwind's individual songs, but also has the feel of their classic albums. even the artwork by boston artist thomas saraceno appropriately provides trippy surrealist scenes fitting to many albums from the 70s. most of all, triad was done out of pure veneration for a band who laid a solid foundation for every heavy, trippy, weirdo band that exists now as well as for those who will freak out in the future. do not panic.
