Frozen Taco presents the fifth album: The Four Heads of Frozen Taco. All songs are original and were recorded at the Bedside, C’lumbus, GA (splay) between Dec. 22, 1988 and January 11, 1989 except for “Suggestion”, recorded March 17, 1989 at Stupidity Studios, C’lumbus.

All songs engineered and produced by Frozen Taco. Remixing by Theron Welch and David Dault at the Bedside. Copyright 1989 thru 2004, Frozen Taco.

Frozen Taco is: Matt Reiss, David Dault, Carlos Viera, and Theron Welch Special Note: We’re not Satanists, Carlos just got carried away. This album is dedicated to the return of the thought dead FT.

Four Heads felt like FT’s first “real” production in some ways. We had a real album cover design (Dave’s use of the Dolby symbol on the cover was groundbreaking back in those days), an interesting and unique variety of tunes, and different collaborations. Carlos had a token appearance as he did in the following album. This album set the tone of several albums to come - in addition to the usual songs, there’s a set of instrumentals and a joke song that ends the album. I like the balance of this album. Each song brings back good memories. My favorites are “The Voyage of Karl”, “Construction of a Calender”, and “A Frozen Taco Christmas”.

-Theron Welch, Seattle, 2004

My favorite song on this album is “Voyage of Karl”. What is the meaning of the song? Beats me. But the tune is very catchy, and the lyrics make me smile. I think “Invictus Millenium” still holds the FT record for shortest production time; I showed up at Theron’s house, and 10 minutes later, we had a song. One final note: Carlos’ exuberant performance of “A Frozen Taco Christmas” makes this the only FT album worthy of a parental advisory (very funny song).

-Matthew Reiss, Kansas City, 2004

By Four Heads, the various directions the band was taking – artistically and in life – were having their effects. Instead of writing as a group, we were pairing off in various combinations, and Carlos was more and more on the fringes. Highlights of this album for me include “Voyage of Karl” as it is, I believe, the “quintessential” FT song, as it includes good music, weird words from our lingo, and the rejoinder that in the end, everybody’s bref stank. I also enjoyed working with Matt on “Suggestion” because we collaborated so infrequently and I’m so pleased with the result. That was also a “guest” moment for Brian Poole, who was always a good friend to the band. Most eye-opening to me at the time, though, were Theron’s instrumental compositions and how much he had developed as a musician. On the whole, Four Heads is a snapshot of the changing directions the band was taking – for better or worse – and the politics that went along with them.
