Since dropping their self-titled debut in 2012, Freak Heat Waves (Mood Hut) from Victoria, Canada, have been an ever-evolving musical force, delivering a steady output that defies easy categorization.

»Drop the needle at random on one of their records and you might be reminded of Black Dice or Gary Numan, Can or Tones on Tail, Seefeel or Brian Eno. Freak Heat Waves’ music represents not so much a style as a sensibility: druggy, unkempt, and a little bit dangerous, a souped-up ride whose wheels could fall off at any moment.«. (Philp Sherburne, Pitchfork)

Honed and expanded through their travels, Ak’chamel’s singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and bizarre ritual folk is as unique as the physical theater of their otherworldly live performances. Often known to many as The Giver of Illness (Akupohne).
