Purple Pyramid Records will be releasing on February 12,
2016 the final album from legendary Daevid Allen, one of the most
innovative music artists to emerge from this planet! Daevid Allen
Weird Quartet is a recording project bringing together Daevid Allen,
founder of The Soft Machine and Gong, with Don Falcone of Spirits
Burning, Michael Clare of Daevid Allen's University of Errors, and
drummers Trey Sabatelli (The Tubes) and Paul Sears (The Muffins).
“ELEVENSES” is the second album by this band, following 2005's
“DJDDAY”, which was released under the band name “Weird Biscuit
Teatime.” Daevid Allen Weird Quartet “ELEVENSES” is the last
band album that Daevid worked on before his death, in March of 2015.
Christopher
David Allen (13 January 1938 – 13 March 2015), better known as
Daevid Allen, sometimes credited as Divided Alien, was an Australian
and had a brilliant career as a poet, musician, artist, and one-time
cab driver that spanned over fifty years. Daevid was constantly
pushing boundaries and was always the center of activity. He
continually inspired those around him to be creative and to achieve
their best.
The
Daily Telegraph said, “Allen revelled in being the court jester of
hippie rock and never lost his enthusiasm for the transcendent power
of the psychedelic experience. He once remarked, 'Psychedelia for me
is a code for that profound spiritual experience where there is a
direct link to the gods.' That he never attained the riches and fame
of many of his contemporaries did not concern him.”
Daevid
Allen Weird Quartet “ELEVENSES” album is a mixture of styles of
music found throughout his career, plus a few surprises: a blues song
in 7/4, a catchy Irish-tinged folk song, ambient and explosive
instrumentals, a post-punk rave-up with Daevid's final message on a
record.
