Ahleuchatistas, the North Carolina instrumental art-rock duo of Shane Perlowin and Ryan Oslance, dropped Heads Full of Poison, their seventh full-length album, a couple of months ago via Cuneiform Records and Harvest Records.

The pair, known for their improvisational flow, draw influences from varied genres. As the press release describes, Ahleuchatistas blend “elements of punk rock, jazz, classical music, speed metal, grindcore, progressive rock, noise, folk musics from Asia and North Africa, electronic music, and ambient aesthetics, along with volatile, unpredictable improvisation, flowing organically in a virtual world of their own.”

Ahleuchatistas premiered yesterday a video for ‘Lighted Stairs’, one of excellent tracks from Heads Full of Poison, directed by Courtney Chappell. Check it out beneath, and straight after listen to another cut off the album, the fierce, tribal and hypnotic ‘Wisps’.
