Moonhead is the second full-length album by Thin White Rope, released in 1987.[7]
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that the album "alters the modus operandi a bit, stretching song lengths and forging a provocative, embryonic bond between wiry, Television-styled guitar interplay and groove-conscious kraut-rock rhythms (held in place by Jozef Becker’s incredibly focused drumming)."[8] The Los Angeles Times called the album "excellent," writing that the band's "fuzzy, often dissonant twin-guitar solos recall such diverse groups as Television and Spirit, as its material takes traditional forms and bends them into something unexpected, going from Western gallops to psychedelic dirges."[9]
The Guardian deemed "Crawl Piss Freeze" "not so much a song as an apocalyptic death march," while AllMusic described it as a postcard "from the edge."[10][7] Spin wrote that the track creates "an unforgiving atmosphere of sparked vocals supplanted by an eardrum-piercing fretboard roar."[11]
