about

Two Heads is actually four heads: X’s legendary drummer DJ Bonebrake, guitarist John Moremen (Matthew Sweet, Half Japanese, Orange Peels), bassist Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, The Third Mind, Eyelids) and keyboardist Willie Aron (Leonard Cohen, Wild Honey Orchestra, Balancing Act).
After meeting in the early 90s, Bonebrake and Moremen bonded over shared musical obsessions, ranging from Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa to Beethoven and Stravinsky.

For years, they talked about doing an instrumental project together, but busy touring schedules and living in different cities kept the collaboration on the back burner. That’s when the duo enlisted two more longtime friends to start recording in earnest.
“Both Willie Aron and Victor Krummenacher came up immediately because they’ve been really good friends of ours for years,” says Moremen. “It's just been a real joy to get together in the studio and play music with these guys, because as long as we've known each other, we haven't actually played together,” adds Krummenacher.

Unlike Bonebrake’s other X side projects, the Flesh Eaters and the Knitters, Two Heads is centered by unison playing on vibes and guitar, but it’s grounded in an instrument Bonebrake and Moremen share. “We just started just with the drums on a couple of things,” says Moremen. “Because we're both drummers, we can kind of speak that language.” DJ adds, "John would send me demos of songs and encourage me to change or improve the drum parts. I just filtered his ideas into a style that's natural to me. A John and DJ hybrid. Two Heads!"

But what does Two Heads sound like? It depends on who you ask.
“It’s like the Ventures meets Thelonious Monk on the beach in space,” offers Aron. “It's kind of Frank Zappa meets the Ventures meets TV soundtrack music,” adds Krummenacher. “Some of it is really oddball,” says Bonebrake, "but it's also very melodic and always rocking!”
