Dark Entries Teases Severed Heads Reissues
Josh Cheon digs into the Sydney band's back catalog once again.
Dark Entries, the West Coast label largely dedicated to obscure and industrial synth-pop, has detailed a run of forthcoming reissues from Australian post-punk pioneers Severed Heads. Clifford Darling, Please Don’t Live in the Past was originally released in 1985 via Ink and combines “live recordings, raw demos, unreleased studio recordings, and solo pieces” from the band’s first five years together. Arriving at the same time—on October 8—is the Petrol EP, which offers multiple versions of the ’86 single.
Severed Heads kick off a tour in San Francisco on September 18. To revisit XLR8R’s 2014 profile of Dark Entries, head here, and stream clips of both forthcoming records below.
