Horrorful Heights marks a bold new chapter for The Bevis Frond, showcasing Nick Saloman’s melodic psychedelia, guitar epics, and emotionally sharp songwriting. Recorded with longtime drummer Dave Pearce, guitarist Paul Simmons, and new bassist Louis Wiggett, the album spans jangling psych-pop, heavy guitar workouts, and pastoral reveries, with Wiggett adding pedal steel on standout tracks like “Best Laid Plans” and “Momma Bear.”
From the sitar-laden, incense-hazed title track to the nine-minute odyssey “Space Age Eyes” and hardcore-tinged “Mossback’s Dream,” Horrorful Heights blends eclectic influences into a cohesive, vital set. With highlights like “Draining The Bad Blood,” “Buffaloed,” and “That’s Your Lot,” it presents The Bevis Frond at a late-period peak: instinctive, tuneful, and unburdened by nostalgia.
