SCYTHE - Head X'Change LP Stoner Confronted with the complex beautyHead XChange is the brilliant new album by Scythe, a long distance collaborative project of David West and R. A. Jones. First appearing on two cloak and dagger cassettes distributed by Low Company in 2019 and 20, Scythes expertly modulated space blues and isolationist architectures betrayed a uniquely sleep deprived, DIY take on kosmische atmospheres, where brittle, decaying synthesiser loops found solace in endless trails of feedback and reverb.
