Head of Wantastiquet is the alter ego of Paul Labrecque, an American songwriternow residing in Belgium. Historically, aesthetically, and sonically, his new albumunder the HOW moniker bears the mark of American primitivism. It s a mix ofpsychedelic banjo hymns, apocalyptic space folk, and incredible drugged-outsoul-whispers. It layers banjos, guitars, and smoke as though they were shimmeringveins of black pearls, pulsing against the scarlet dawn. Head of Wantastiquetmanages to take a conceptual precept as dark as life itself, and invest it with aninner glow that churns our own black hearts like butter.
