When Texas musician Robert Harrison experienced a debilitating spine injury in 2002, he didn't let the pain get him down.
Though bed-ridden for nearly two years, Harrison made the most of his time, intricately crafting a double-disc song cycle of psychedelic pop entirely in his head.
Thanks to a number of dream sequences, a healthy dose of meditation and a ukulele given to him as a birthday present by his five-year-old daughter, the end-product of Harrison's lengthy recuperation is not a bad case of entropy, both muscular and musical, but instead the forthcoming debut from Hill Country, Texas, collective Future Clouds & Radar.
The self-titled double-disc affair is slated for an April 24 release on Star Apple Kingdom Records. No word yet on any tour dates, but you should give the guy a break. He just spent two years in a bed, for Pete's sake!
