about

Heavy Water, the partly imaginary group of Julius Vanderbilt, returns with a long awaited second album, 'Ace Of Space'.
The band were to have disbanded after the eponymous first album in 2019 but the Pandemic prevented the members from travelling to their various new destinations. Instead they were cossetted together in lock down with nothing else to do really but make another record.
Imaginations were fired by the sheer science fiction atmosphere of the pandemic. A masked population, deserted highways, the reclaiming of the cities by bird and animal life. And the big questions…Is this the end of Humanity?
For the freaked-out, suddenly out-of-work musician there was really only one direction to take…inwards, into the space within, where no man had really gone before. So jamming into the night, exploring the fear, exploding with ideas the ‘Ace of Space’ was born.
It’s a sonic journey completely out of the box, as black as the Ace of Space, with deep electronic grooves and freeform workouts. Hints of Rock In Opposition bands like Univers Zero and more of those intriguing time signatures. The harpsichord giving each track that baroque ’n’ roll tinge while wild drums flail in a whirlpool of shimmering echo. With tracks like ‘Turning Point’ a window opens and suddenly light floods fills the room, like hope. ‘Remorse Code’ sends us off into another free form frenzy while ‘Water Wings’ is like a child’s game of ‘Let’s Pretend’
Heavy Water have entered new territory again, straying further from their own comfort zone… which is where they feel most comfortable.
