“Landing,” the title track from Githead’s November album, cruises along at a steady clip, a muscular, smooth, droning, mesmerizing rock tune. In other words, it kind of doesn’t make sense. When you discover that the London band is made up of Colin Newman (frontman of art-punk legends Wire), Robin Rimbaud (the veteran sound artist known as Scanner) and two members of ’80s avant-rock provocateurs Minimal Compact, you just expect something a bit less conventional. But all the power of their collective experience funnels together coolly behind Malka Spigel’s glassy vox, like shoegaze that looks you straight in the eye. The whole is simply different than the sum of its parts.
