On September 26th, 2014, Screaming Headless Torsos released Code Red, the highly anticipated first record in almost a decade. On October 1st the Torsos hit the road for the European leg of their “Code Red Tour”. The first full-length release with lead singer Freedom Bremner was produced by Torsos Veteran producer Gregg Fine and showcases their signature “gumbo” of rock, pop, R&B, jazz and electro-soul, and boasts an impressive roster of special guests including guitarist James Valentine (Maroon 5), Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads), Casey Benjamin (Robert Glasper Experiment) and 14 time GRAMMY-Award winning producer Ron Saint Germain takes the helm on the title track.
“Code Red” the title track and collaboration with Ron Saint Germain is a pop/metal anthem that rocks at break-neck speed and tells the story of the horrors of post-traumatic stress -- of a soldier who can’t escape the nightmares in his head. James Valentine, guitarist of Maroon 5, known for his hooky guitar grooves, steps out on the electro-soul jam “Brooce Swayne” with a shredding Munsters-Meets-Maggot-Brain solo. “Wizard of Woo”, the tribute to legendary keyboardist and founding member of Parliament Funkadelic, Bernie Worrell, is a madcap, tempo-shifting rollercoaster ride that features Worrell and unites the Torsos with the Mothership as only he can.
Over the past 19 years, SHT, lead by David Fiuczynski, has been quietly expanding their reach as the cultish wild child of rock, jazz and soul. After the critically acclaimed release of their debut album Screaming Headless Torsos, after Musician Magazine named them one of the “Top 10 Bands to Watch”, the band has continued to be embraced by fans in the jazz and alternative rock communities. “It’s pretty wild, when we’re playing some of these big festivals, to see new fans who were children when our first record came out,” said Fiuczysnki. It is SHT’s message and groove and that keeps bringing fans into the fold from around the world.
Almond Pear in Love
Screaming Headless Torsos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pear is there and there it is
Sets no store by its business
Stoic brown, weathered green
Perfect in its imperfection
Loud and brash, in your face
Sweet poison on your tongue
Purple velvet passion hit and run
Pear is water meditation
Almond oil bittersweet seduction
One needs the other to bloom and grow
Fruit nut ying yang flesh and soul
Golden orb of submission
Funky crunchy freaky nutty musky eroticism
Pear gives the almond peace and space
Almond puts a smile on the pear's face
Almond needs the pear, to be and just be there,
to gain a higher level of Oneness
Pear needs the almond, sacred union,
body and soul implosion
Thirst quenching sting, almond pear rush,
Silent screams, ecstatic touch
Food groups of love, scrumptious trust
Lust 4 Life and Life 4 Lust !
Lust 4 Life and Life 4 Lust !!!
Lust 4 Life and Life 4 Lust !!!!!
