The Heliocentrics albums are all confounding pieces of work. Drawing equally from the funk universe of James Brown, the disorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra, the cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone, the sublime fusion of David Axelrod, Pierre Henry’s turned-on musique concrete, and Can’s beat heavy Krautrock, they have – regardless of the label on which they’ve release their music – pointed the way towards a brand new kind of psychedelia, one that could only from a band of accomplished musicians who were also obsessive music fans. Drummer Malcolm Catto and bassist Jake Ferguson are The Heliocentrics masterminds and producers. They are obsessive weirdos in today’s musical climate,searching, progressive humans who tread their own path. They have been playing together for nearly two decades and their collective drive is to find an individual voice. The Heliocentrics search for it in an alternate galaxy where the orbits of funk, jazz, psychedelia, electronic, avant-garde and “ethnic” music all revolve around “The One”!
