Architectural Metaphor, USA


News: Architectural Metaphor have released their 5th official CD called Galactus Interruptum in late 2016, without any fanfare at all (not even on their Facebook page, which is really a memoir page). I see it's available from CD Baby and on Discogs.


Location : Boston, Massachusetts

Overview: Along with Djam Karet, Architectural Metapohor are one of the pioneers of the modern space rock movement in the United States, and have been continuously operating since 1984. They had long breaks between releases, and I've only heard their first two, though I hope to do something about that soon.

  1. Nice to see them surface again. I, myself, have the impression that they were utterly forgotten. "Everything You Know Is Wrong" is another good one, with a new female vocalist and consists of studio tracks recorded in 2005. It has a harder edge, reminding at times the british heavy progressive bands of the early 70s but the Floydian space element is also to the fore. "Other Music" is a live album containing some Hawkwind covers among the originals. However, i.m.o. nothing in their catalogue tops "Creature of the Velvet Void".

    Something that might be of interest to your readers, in order to complete the picture of an unsung band, is a complete history of them from the Aural Innovations blog.
