"Just like a musical chord, a perfume chord contains four essences, or notes, carefully selected for their harmonic affinity. Each perfume contains three chords: the head, the heart and the base, necessitating 12 notes in all. The head chord contains the first impression, lasting a few minutes before giving way to the heart chord, the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours. Finally, the base chord, the trail of the perfume lasting several days. Mind you the Egyptians believed that one can only create a truly original perfume by adding an extra note, one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others..." -- So explains aging perfumer Giuseppe Baldini, a chief character in German author Peter Süskind's acclaimed 1985 novel Das Parfum. Taking a cue from the fictional fragrance legend's theory on the intertwining of sound and scent, Austin, TX's HeadShy unveil their own sense of artful redolence on their debut full-length La Belle Epoque. -- HeadShy is comprised of Reese Beeman and James Adkisson, former members of the seminal Southwest psych outfit 7% Solution, journeyman drummer Wayne Duncan and Lisa Lipkin, a bewitching singer-songwriter born to a jazz musician father and opera singer mother. -- And what this uncanny combination have created with La Belle Epoque is nothing short of breathtaking in its luminous fusion of ENO-esque atmosphere, the 4AD label at its loveliest, Wild Bunch-style groove theory and the hefty depth of Boatman's Call-era Nick Cave.
