The Warlocks: SAT FEB 8 @ Bootleg Theatre
THE WARLOCKS BEGINS 2014 WITH TOUR DATES FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF NEW ALBUM
“I love this record. One of the most exciting albums of 2013” - Jim DeRogatis / Sound Opinions“Amid the flash of new bands keen to drive a sonic expressway through your skull, The Warlocks remain a superior alloy of Velvets cool and narcotic Spaceman 3/MBV tropes, as their first LP in five years ably demonstrates.” - MOJO"Some bands play chords, but the so-far-unstoppable Warlocks play clouds -- songs that swirl around you like smoke and probably leave a little haze in your head, too." - LA WEEKLY "Dead Generation" featured on Blurtonline.com

After releasing the long-awaited Skull Worship in November 2013 through Zap Banana (Cargo Distribution), The Warlocks will launch into 2014 with live dates including the West Coast and Europe.
Stream and share “Dead Generation” at https://soundcloud.com/the-warlocks/dead-generation. View the zombie inspired video for the song at: http://youtu.be/reFUFpDGdGU.Recorded over a two year period, Skull Worship is the Los Angeles-based band’s eighth album and the first new album in five years. The Warlocks construct a dense, more elaborate web of sound, layers of distortion and the occasional synth a la Silver Apples and Red Crayola. “Silver & Plastic” expands the band’s oeuvre into acoustic territory recalling T Rex. Other songs like “Endless Drops” turn to Hawkwind, Neu! and experimental rock for inspiration.
“Not everything fits perfectly on this record,” describes singer Bobby Hecksher. “There are loose parts, fragmented sections and then it rocks all together. It's not perfectly polished like a lot of records out there. More like an expression of moments in time that drip together like a strange dream.”
Bobby continues, “I consider Skull Worship the final musical piece of the trilogy which started with Heavy Deavy Skull Lover , then The Mirror Explodes and now Skull Worship. They are all suppose to be connected with similar cord changes and fragmented weirdness.”
