The Heliocentrics\u2019 debut album, Out There (2007) was a confounding piece of work. Drawing equally from the funk universe of James Brown, the
\ndisorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra, the cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone, the sublime fusion of David Axelrod, Pierre Henry\u2019s turned-on musique
\nconcr\u00e8te, and Can\u2019s beat-heavy Krautrock, Out There pointed the way towards a brand new kind of psychedelia, one that could only come from a band of accomplished musicians who were also obsessive music fans. Drummer Malcolm Catto and bassist Jake Ferguson are the Heliocentrics\u2019 masterminds and producers, and guitarist Ade Owusu, percussionist Jack Yglesisas and keyboardist Ollie Parfitt hold constant presence within this ever-evolving ensemble.
\nThey have been playing together for over a decade and their collective drive is to find an individual voice. The Heliocentrics search for it in an alternate galaxy where the orbits of funk, jazz, psychedelic, electronic, avant-garde and \u201cethnic\u201d music all revolve around \u201cThe One.\u201d Back at Now-Again with 13 Degrees of Reality, the Heliocentrics have returned to develop this epic vision of psychedelic funk, while exploring the possibilities created by their myriad influences \u2013 Latin, African, and more. Thus, the electro-Latin fusion of \u201cDescarga Electronica\u201d sits next to weeping strings piled atop \u201cCollateral Damage\u2019s\u201d chunky rhythms, which nearly misses the undulating swing of \u201cWrecking Ball,\u201d a dirge as irresistibly funky as it is devastating.<\/p>\n
