LIMITED EDITION 180 Gram REMASTERED BLACKVinyl LP

HEAD AUTOMATICA IS A BRITPOP AND HIP-HOP INSPIRED PROJECT FRONTED BY DARYL PALUMBO, BETTER KNOWN AS FRONTMAN OF POST-HARDCORE LEGENDS GLASSJAW. The project began in earnest when Palumbo was introduced to Dan The Automator Nakamura (Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School) by mutual friends.

Decadence combines Palumbos alt-rock ferocity with Nakamuras beatmaking expertise, resulting in a thorough cross-section of the sound of early 2ks pop music. Released in late summer of 2004, Decadence is a charmingly trashy technicolor romp that cant help but aim for the fences with every verse, chorus, and breakdown. Beating Heart Baby was unavoidable at the proto-indie-discos of the time, straightforward pop-punk vocals over organ dirge, punched-up drums, and a jagged guitar and cowbell breakdown. Please Please Please (Young Hollywood) is Patrick Nagel sleaze with white-tuxedo-poolside-nagel earworm of a chorus. King Caesar could either be about the old-school Toho kaiju or the ruler of Ancient Rome, starting off with suitably retro touch-tone bloops. Head Automatica Soundsystem is tongue-in-cheek funk licks with fiercely spit verses. Brooklyn Is Burning starts with a dusty break and epic brass riffs, dance-punk sneer and double-timed buzzsaw guitar. This the first wide release of this album on LP, with a 2011 exclusive version selling for over $100 on the secondary market. This pressing is onblackvinyl and includes a 12×12 insert with full lyrics and credits. Limited to 500 copies
