HEAT LEISURE III & IV LP US 2014 (Thrill Jockey) EX/MINT-
INFORMATION: Their sole album. Heat Leisure is a collective centered around the Carney brothers of Pontiak, Greg Fox and Alexandra Drewchin of Guardian Alien, Steve Strohmeier of Beach House, and Robert J. Otten III. Their music takes a freewheeling approach to psychedelia with obvious nods to Amon Duul II, Can and the Grateful Dead. For this, their second gathering and recording at the Carney's farm in Virginia, the group recruited the legendary Merry Prankster and Grateful Dead associate Ken Babbs, who emceed the Deads mythical Veneta, OR gig in 1972 that became Sunshine Daydream, to contribute a shamanistic monologue to "III," which occupies the first side of this, their first full-length vinyl release. The Carney's Babbs about collaborating with Heat Leisure after staying at his Oregon farm on the last Pontiak tour. Heat Leisure's core principles are spontaneity, serendipity, and collaboration. The band employs frying amp distortion, a signature of Pontiak, as well as an array of drums, synthesizers, samplers, organs and a heavy dose of explorative improvisation by the musicians to create a highly lyrical album. Heat Leisure was conceived as a multi-media pursuit. While this release, III & IV, is an audio record, Heat Leisure I & was released in the form of a short film/DVD with an accompanyingcar II. The Carney's have said that future innations could take any form from performance and paintings. , to sculptures or even digital mediums. Very much like the collaborative approach of the musicians to each session, they are keeping it open. III & IV was recorded late at night during a three day period during the first week of 2014 in Pontiak's Studio a also on their farm, with Lain Carney doing most of the engineering.
