Frank - Best Head In Showbiz   - VINYL LP

Destiny orchestrated a serendipitous encounter for Pierre Corradini and Thomas E. Frank as they found themselves immersed in collaborative music projects. Amid the rhythmic tapestry of their shared endeavors, an opportune moment arose in the studio, providing them with the luxury of time. What started as impromptu jams soon evolved into something far deeper - a full-fledged album driven by mutual passion and creative chemistry. The resulting compositions bear witness to rich, expansive sounds infused with global musical influence and subtle nods to the artistic legacies of John Cale, Vangelis, and cinematic soundscapes. The Best Head In Showbiz seamlessly blends instrumental tracks with vocal tunes, showcasing a tasteful amalgamation of musical elements. Thomas E. Frank, renowned as the Inchpsychedelic grandfather,Inch made a significant mark on the music scene through his association with Den Stora Vilan, a folk psych group celebrated across Scandinavia. Since the hiatus of his former group, Thomas's focus has shifted to Hollow Ship - a funky psychedelic quartet that blends analog warmth with modern techniques, crafting a distinct sonic identity. Thomas handled mixing and arrangement duties for the album from his personal studio, Ljudvalvet. Pierre Corradini is a journeyman of diverse experiences-from high school karate champion to pub rock guitarist to a decade-long sojourn in a Swedish countryside commune that became the crucible for personal transformation. Emerging as a talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Pierre now dedicates his time to crafting and recording music, drawing from the rich tapestry of his past to shape a compelling creative future. Together, Corradini and Frank have channeled their unlikely partnership into a record that feels both timeless and wholly unexpected. Album Tracks 1. Cycles 2. Innocent Eyes 3. Islands 4. In the D
