Album Notes

VIC THRILL + THE SATURN MISSILE are one of the true fringe Brooklyn music groups, having devoted most of their efforts towards playing offbeat venues and underground art parties up and down the East Coast of the U.S. and in Europe. The band formed in '99 as a four piece under the name VIC THRILL, with several small releases of EP's, live records, split 7"s, etc, until their first full-length CE-5 was released in 2003 on CIRCUS CLONE RECORDS. The record was ranked Top Ten of 2003 by the Washington Post and received praise from many respected publications such as NME - Like Bentley Rhythm Ace and The Boggs covering songs from Oh Brother Where Art Thou...clever catchy space-funk fusions of everything from Eastern European folk to world music rhythms...weird. The duo just finished their second full-length record titled Circus Of Enlightenment with Paul Mahajan (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Liars, The National, etc) and Robbie Adams (U2, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) with plans to release in 2006. The new record is a mash of punked-up drum 'n bass rhythms, guitars, and electronica combined with elements of backwoods Americana and reggae-dub. Imagine Guided By Voices getting together with Basement Jaxx and Brian Eno!
