Head Heritage

Julian Cope is a British artist known for his work as a vocalist, bassist, songwriter, author, and poet. Born on October 21, 1957 in Deri, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK, he grew up in Tamworth before moving to Liverpool. Currently residing in Avebury, UK, Julian is the father of Avalon Cope.
In May 1977, Julian co-founded The Crucial Three alongside Ian McCulloch and Pete Wylie. Although the band disbanded just a month later in June 1977. In 1978, he formed the post-punk band The Teardrop Explodes which brought him fame but eventually disbanded in late 1982.
After returning to Tamworth (UK), Julian began recording his first solo album released in 1984. He then ventured into writing books about his musical career and other subjects. Notably, he founded Queen Elizabeth in 1992 and Brain Donor in 1999; both bands are still active today.

New Wave / Post Punk

Julian Cope’s latest Ambient Groove album Rite At Ya. Containing 4 unreleased epics from1993 right up to the present day, this record will send you out into the Cosmos and leave you on a park bench possibly not of your own choosing. Rite At Ya opens with the 20-minute title track, in which a scree slope of Hammond organ rides a revolving andelliptical bass theme across your funky butt cheeks, as drums’n’brass thrash and thresh away your dusty urban cobwebs.Next up, Village of the Unshod Priesthood hails from 1993CE and showcases that archaic Harveytron keyboard so beloved of Cope’s album Jehovahkill from the previous year. You dig the sound of Thor’s backwash as he gargles the ocean? Well you goddit right here! The rousing rabble of sounds that make up Boskewan-Un are all the result of a 2016 session with Cope’s new group Dope. Yes, that’s Holy McGrail on space echo, Christopher Holman on Moog, Philippe Legende on drums and Fatpaul on, erm, God knows what. This intriguing release concludes with Cope’s 2001 bucolic revisioning of The Ringed Hills of Ver. Recorded especially for Cope’s Discover Odin lectures at the British Museum, this 20-minute plus piece trickles through the mind like spring water across a lightly inclined peat bog. So search out these 4 exceptional meditations, nay, medications! For simply rotating each one on your hi-fi will help to scythe away at the psychic accretions that collect and build up around us on our oft difficult daily journey through modern life.
