Here’s a very welcome addition to Philadelphia’s ever-expanding outer-limit sounds. White Dwarf pulses with an uneasy throb that’ll make any reasonably paranoid person double check the deadbolt before retiring to a night of restless sleep. This is the type of spaced-out free psychedelia that some folks chase for a lifetime, and Philadelphia’s Heavenly Bodies caught it on their first major outing. The record is netted by Dustin Burrows’ sizzling atmospheric strum. And for anybody who knows the guy, the patience he shows here could be shocking. Not a single unnecessary or erratic move to be heard. On percussion, lapsteel, and loops, the mild-mannered Shaun Bailey rattles things along for a few excruciating minutes until the death march at the end of the first side offers relief. Grounding the whole thing is Ashley Burrows, a lady of very little nonsense, on bass. Using just two of her four strings, she tugs each of the four pieces on White Dwarf back to earth with an economy of movement uncommon among those who mess around in music.
