AHHH! BRAINS!!

 

Henge is a British Cosmic Rave Band. Welcome back to your weekly music of wacky madness as we get SPOOKY for Halloween this week!  Also, jesus balls, did I just say British Cosmic Rave band!?  TELL ME MORE RIGHT NOW!!

In typical fashion, this year's spooky candy-a-thon consists of chilly weather and kids dressing up. Our neighborhood is pretty good about giving out candy, but really we'll be traveling back to our OG stomping grounds to hit up our favorite streets and friends for the kids to show off their costumes. 

BUT WHAT COOL NEW TUNES ARE ENTERING OUR STRATOSPHERE THIS HOLIDAY?

WELL... if you're looking to blast entirely otherworldly into your headphones. Enter HENGE, the Manchester-born purveyors of "Cosmic Dross." Comprising the intrepid extraterrestrial travelers Zpor, Goo, Sol, and Nom, this British outfit blends theatrical horror themed soundtrack with electro rock!!

And no track in their eccentric catalog fits a Halloween ritual quite like "BRAINS."

BRAINS by HENGE

What is Cosmic Dross, Anyway?

HENGE describes their genre as a hybrid of space rock, ambient electronica, punk energy, and sci-fi mysticism. It is music designed to make you dance while pondering the infinite expanse of the universe. But when these interstellar visitors turn their attention to the macabre, that joyful energy takes an eerie turn.

Unpacking "BRAINS"

From the opening notes, "BRAINS" leans directly into classic B-movie horror tropes, filtered through a hyper-modern synthesizer lens. Imagine a retro-futuristic laboratory where Dr. Frankenstein has traded his copper coils for analog modular synths and drum machines.

So, turn off the lights, crank up the volume, and let the cosmic travelers feed your curiosity. Just keep an eye on the shadows and protect your gray matter.... BRAINS!!! 

I'll see you and your brilliant spongy mind-controlling brains next week for more wacky music Wednesday!!
