In an imaginative homage to one of Pink Floyd's most intriguing projects, a new album titled Household Objects is set for release marking 50 years since the band's mythical experiment of the same name was first conceived and then quietly shelved. The people behind this release took a bunch of well-known musicians from multiple disciplines, took away their instruments, and asked them to honour this 50th anniversary.

Featuring contributions from a lineup of musical cult figures and underground legends, including the legendary face-hiding band The Residents, this project revives and reinterprets the spirit of the original Pink Floyd concept, creating music entirely without conventional instruments. The people behind it suggest that "the sonic world of Household Objects is a surreal, immersive, and strangely emotive journey through sonic architecture crafted from the mundane".

None other than Nick Mason has endorsed the release with the following words, featured in the foreword of the CD booklet: "I have to say that 50 years later the resurrection of this idea seems much more manageable, and the work produced on this album is in my opinion, far more interesting than anything we created. I salute all the contributors to this work and if we have encouraged, or in some ways inspired, these recordings then maybe it wasn't such a wasted effort!"

The producers of this new collection say that "Household Objects is a cohesive and compelling piece of sonic art that celebrates the radical possibilities of sound, the value of risk in creativity, and the enduring influence of Pink Floyd's experimental spirit". For those who enjoy the more avant-garde elements of the band's earlier material (such as Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, for example) this should prove a fascinating listen.

Compiled, curated and produced by William Hayter and Barry Lamb, Household Objects is beautifully packaged, graced with Michael Leigh's artwork and Sean Kelly's equally excellent photography. Officially due for release at the end of August, it is actually available now to order as a limited edition CD release from ReR Megacorp and will also be available on all the usual digital platforms.
