The Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound

San Francisco's the Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound clearly wouldn't sound the way they do without having aped San Francisco's Comets On Fire. Both bands play sternum-pummeling hard psyche rock slathered with layers of analog tape delay, and both bands have a singer who sounds like he's shouting at you from the busted radio of a crashed spaceship. Hell, you could even say that T.A.H.I.S.S. wouldn't even exist without Comets On Fire. But here's the thing -- they do the Comets thing almost better than Comets. They're tighter, more focused and less dependant on masturbatory Echoplex knob twiddling.
