Our Take

THIS HEAT's "Out of Cold Storage" is a musical rollercoaster that will leave you questioning what reality truly is. This experimental album, reissued from the depths of history, is a testament to the band's boundary-pushing creativity.

From the dissonant opening track to the hypnotic rhythms of "Cenotaph," each song takes you on a journey through the avant-garde soundscape that only THIS HEAT could create. The blending of electronic and traditional instruments creates a sonic landscape that is both unsettling and captivating.

The standout track, "Health and Efficiency," showcases the band's ability to create tension and release in a way that is both exhilarating and unnerving. The layers of sound build upon each other, creating a sense of urgency that is hard to shake off.

Overall, "Out of Cold Storage" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. THIS HEAT's fearless experimentation and refusal to adhere to traditional genre boundaries make this album a truly unique listening experience. Pick up a copy today and prepare to be transported to a world where anything is possible.

About the artist

This Heat

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's THIS HEAT! This enigmatic trio from London burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s, bringing a blend of experimental rock, post-punk, and avant-garde electronica that left audiences scratching their heads in awe. Led by the visionary Charles Hayward, THIS HEAT have been hailed as one of the most influential bands of their time, paving the way for countless artists to push the boundaries of genre and sound. With a sonic palette that ranged from eerie whispers to cacophonous cacophony, THIS HEAT were never afraid to challenge conventions and forge their own path in the industry. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1979, remains a cult classic to this day, with its hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies capturing the hearts and minds of listeners worldwide. Despite their undeniable talent and critical acclaim, THIS HEAT never quite achieved mainstream success, opting instead to remain in the shadows and continue experimenting with their sound. But for those in the know, their legacy looms large, inspiring generations of musicians to think outside the box and push the boundaries of what music can be. So if you're in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary, look no further than THIS HEAT. With their unconventional approach to music and their fearless determination to break new ground, they are sure to leave you both baffled and beguiled in equal measure. Strap in, dear readers, and prepare for a sonic journey unlike any other.
