The Unfortunate Heads are forever in transition. If a rolling stone gathers no moss, the Unfortunate Heads are shape-shifters. The band's brooding, melancholic debut, 'Maritime' was recorded with the original trio of singer, songwriter and guitarist Lance Sollock, upright bassist Thomas Bones, and drummer Trevor Doak Morgan, and sounds like it sailed in on a three-masted ship from another time.

Its latest LP, 'Come Be Light' was born out of late night walks through Austin cemeteries and centers around themes of apparitions and the shadows and light where they hide. A marked departure from the womb-like haze of its debut, Come Be Light is a full Technicolor journey through genres and structures that reveals a new layer of brilliance with each spin.

Among the myriad guests that appeared on Come Be Light was guitarist Justin Telepak, who left a mountain of leads and scribbles of effects in his wake. He was thereafter added to the band’s official lineup, and along with the augmentation of keyboardist Jeremy Erwin, add a swirl of psychedelia and classic rock bravado to its live incarnation. In the summer of 2007, David Frank took over drumming duties and brought the brew to a roaring boil. Have a taste.
