We’ve been fans of Airhead for some years now, writing about him twice in 2012, but his release schedule is painfully steady and considered. His last release came in 2014, the searing October / Macondo on Hemlock. Since then he’s been busy writing and touring with his childhood friend James Blake, as well as establishing party-slash-label 1-800 Dinosaur (alongside Blake, […]
Read moreReview: Airhead – Pyramid Lake / Black Ink
Airhead is an artist that we don’t know much about, and we kind of like it that way. His releases come quietly and stay a while, never making the mistake of getting lumped in with others. Not that Airhead is cashing in on the anonymity trend either – he just seems to be content with […]
