Buffalo NY's THE HAMILTONES are back with a new high concept surf record, IN SPACE. It serves as the soundtrack to an epic space opera, borrowing familiar themes and textures from mid-century sci-fi and superimposing them onto thoroughly modern surf rock. While most bands of the style only use guitar, bass, and drums, The Hamiltones dare to utilize layers of vocal ooos and aaas, lush strings, horns, space-age synthesizers, and even theremin on their new opus. The result is a record that has just as much in common with John Williams, Ennio Morricone, and John Carpenter as it does with Dick Dale or The Ventures. IN SPACE is unflinchingly audacious, daring to boldly go where no surf band has gone before. The experience is fully immersive, as the 12 record comes with a companion 7 E.P. of music by the mysterious Moon People, and a 6 page insert spelling out the plot of the fictitious film to which IN SPACE serves as the soundtrack.
