“The Sirens of Titan inhabit a world of arcana and paraphernalia, melancholia and transgression, well-thumbed paperbacks and lyrics scribbled on backs of cigarette packs, black coffee and valium, faces, non-places: the LAX airport lounge, hotel rooms pulling all-nighters writing until daylight, then back on the open road for further punishment …
Helmed by freewheeling creative spirit, novelist and editor John-Paul Pryor, (former front-man of explosive noughties avant-rockers The Lancaster Bombers), their first offering Apocalypse Sessions was recorded in a series of live sessions intended as a riposte to overproduction, and was more a tantalising glimpse than a full strip-tease. Embracing the chaos that presents itself, The Sirens of Titan are doing things the wrong way round, with the assured The Age of Treason rocking up like a débutante some six years after the event `– a swaggering Neve-desk produced opus that provides a vicarious sonic rush when placed on the stereo.
Its rich, layered and uniquely bohemian psyche-blues sound unashamedly tapping into the rich heritage of rock and roll for one final dionysian blast, where The Stones meet The Doors, Scott Walker collides with Syd Barrett. Prepare to lose your head.”`
