The appearance of Githead and the release of their debut EP Headgit in 2004 surprised many, not only with the unlikely "front line" of Wire’s Colin Newman (Gtr. Vox), Minimal Compact’s Malka Spigel (Bass, Vox) & Scanner’s Robin Rimbaud (Gtr.) but also with the cyclic, hypnotic funkiness not to mention the avant-pop sensibility the outfit produces.

"Unusually accessible, even funky.." wrote Andy Gill in The Independent. "When they're good, they're astonishingly good, both angular & polished" wrote James Snodgrass in the NME "Cult classic of tomorrow" wrote Q Magazine "Newman's on-the-side vitality hasn't dimmed a bit" wrote Joe Tangari in Pitchfork Media (for more press & complete reviews go to www.githead.com)

Their debut album Profile takes the story and sound-scape of Githead wider & deeper. With the addition of Max Franken (also of Minimal Compact) on drums the band has become "a small mobile unit" capable of delivering - emotional power, as on the opener Alpha and the epic Raining Down – driving grooves, as in Option Paralysis or the frenetic shouty bagginess of the snappily named Cosmology for Beginners – or indeed sublime pop lusciousness like My LCA (Little Box of Magic).

First Reviews of Profile from UK press

"Profile is the album of the year so far. Genius. DEAN THATCHER ***** Update

"What you get here though is a set of songs that simply demand to be played to death. And the more you play it, the more you love it.
Commercial yet with enough of an avant edge, Profile makes for a terrific statement of intent. It’s not too hard to imagine this catching on, especially with songs as more-ish as LCA (Little Box of Magic) or Raining Down.
A great album." **** Andrew Cowen - Birmingham Post
