  • Description

    A rootsy rockin' psychedelica, The Slambovian Circus of Dreams have been expanding the borders of the Americana genre with their fantastic stories and performance since the late 90's in Sleepy Hollow, New York. A real bout of rootsy rockin' psychedelica, throwing elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys plus the flavour of the musical mix (Waterboys co-founder Anthony Thistlethwaite is on the).

    Add a good dose of Woodstock-era psychedelia framed in solid songwriting, and you have it. Touring the UK in the summer headlining the Wickham Festival, Fairport's Cropredy Festival, and more. "A Very Unusual Head" Recorded over the last four years in five studios and two countries, A Very Unusual Head is a kaleidoscope of songs by New York's Slambovian Circus of Dreams.



    The songs and musical escapades of the band make for a sonically beautiful, creative and adventurous album. Inspired by the surrealist painters and Dylan as a 12 year old growing up in Philadephia, Longo chronicles a bit of that journey honoring those who offer an intellectual/creative escape hatch needed to sort life's big questions. A Very Unusual Head is the band's sixth studio album and is set for release in the UK with Talking Elephant Records. QUOTES "The cool end of Americana" - Maverick Magazine, UK
