About us

The members of I$I$, Immortal,Oak and Rumbone, found each other in Edgar's Hair and the magic happened .... Edgar's Hair is producing tripping, spherical and organic growing sound-pieces like Soft Machine and King Crimson could. Also the legendary Chameleons from the eighties or instrumentalists Kong, Mogwai and Sigur Ross can be recognized in their sound.

This sound can be also described as nice soundscapes of guitarplayer/singer Hans Brussee and bassplayer Leo Zwaan all of this is held together by the sharp-edged drumsound of Leon van der Leer. Since march 2023 Marijn van t Veer has joined the band and makes their sound and live-performance complete by playing synths and moog Taurus. The sound of the famous MoogTaurus has an important place in the music of Edgar’s Hair. The band from Leiden / Rotterdam does live shows with the videos of Esther (VJ). For an impression of the used images and atmosphere visit our youtube channel for the clip "Stratosphere". In the past this band has played as a support-act with bands as Motorpsycho, the Sound and Barkmarket.

In Search off Starship 109

The German record label Clostridium specializes in psychedelics, space, progressive, stoner rock, Krautrock, Acidfolk and rock. The Dutch trio of multi-instrumentalist Hans Brussee (guitar/vocals/xylophone/trumpet/piano/synths), previously active in I$I$ and Oak, could not have landed in a better place with their Starship 109. Four years ago, the trio, which also consists of Leon van der Leer (drums/keyboards) and Zwaan (bass), surprised with Jonathan's Dive, a fascinating listening trip based on the 1970 book Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

This time the band prefers higher (atmo) spheres than a seagull can reach. Think of slow, beautifully folded instrumental pieces that can serve as a soundtrack for a new science fiction film about space passengers and a number of slightly shorter psychedelic rock tracks, of course mastered by Pieter "the void" Kloos. Out of this world, so much blurriness? Yes, but that is precisely the intention. Or as Brussee puts it in Sonic Breath: "sitting in an endles dream / This is not a brave new world / Je ne pas.... la folie / I'm going to another place.


Jonathan’s Dive

The vinyl double album 'Jonathan's Dive' is a 100-minute concept record based on Richard Bach's novel 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull', the famous fable about the seagull who is banned by his peers for wanting to make ying an art form. A symbol of the universal desire for unlimited freedom. The film adaption of the book, released in 1974, was famously adorned with a soundtrack by Neil Diamond. More than 40 years later, Dutch band Edgar's Hair (ex-I$I$, ex-Oak members) puts its own spin on it and transforms the story into a much darker and more erratic epic.

An analog musical adventure (filled) with ethnic acoustic sounds and a vibrant voice palette in multiple languages. An exploration into inner bleakness and a "higher plane of existence" that turns into a most magical aural trip.

A unique experience.
