Beefheart and Electric Light Orchestra)to John Zorn! Golems of the Red Planet are a collision of lifers, iconoclasts, and joyful saboteurs drawn from the outer edges of art rock, jazz, surf, and the happily unclassifiable. Guitarist Harvey Gold, a founding force behind Akron's legendary Tin Huey, brings decades of boundary-pushing work with Half Cleveland, Sally Spring, The HiFis, and his solo release It's Messy Vol. 1. Bassist Mark Allender-true Zornophile-emerges from The Pointless Orchestra and a string of idiosyncratic solo albums. Drummer Bob Ethington has anchored everything from Unit 5 and Glenn Lazear to The Robert Ethington Quintet. Cellist Matt Reese adds a melodic wild card honed with Trial of Lucy and Flying Carpet People. Together, they form a band whose collective résumé reads less like a CV and more like a map of creative resistance.Golems of the Red Planet were formed from the mud of radically diverse musicians drawn to John Zorn's Masada-compact, fiercely elegant compositions built to be exploded by other artists. The Golems' twist was to use surf music as a launching pad, not a destination, filtering these Ashkenazi Jewish folk modalities through reverb, propulsion, and a gleefully warped sense of possibility. \"Starting point\" is the operative phrase: while Surf Masada occasionally dives headlong into genre pleasures, the band's true instinct is insidious expansion. Eclectic to the core, the Golems treat surf as a language they're fluent in-but never obedient to-reshaping it with wit, muscle, and a lifetime of beautiful bad ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Hadrial \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mehalalel \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Hutriel \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Paschar\/Tzo \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Mo'ed \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Ziphim \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Damam \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Hazor \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Re'cha \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Belial\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Golems of the Red Planet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42830470971463,"sku":"46135605","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4505664-3575162.jpg?v=1780051627","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/golems-of-the-red-planet-surf-masada-tribute-to-john-zorn-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
