Cultural consumer stops at ATM. Takes out two twenties for light beer funds. Just scored sweet tix for a rock gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Standing at this ATM. Waiting, staring at blank screen. He stops.
It suddenly hits him.
He`s never asked himself what this means.
“What good is this rock pop band? Is this liberation or distraction? Were The Beatles how the 60s were kept in line? Every song is a potential sale and every man is a potential fan.”
Why would you want somebody’s band to be your life even if it was your own?
Enter pin code: 8723.
Two hours later weaves through crowd. Pays surcharge at venue’s ATM. “Should I sing along or should I listen?” Can’t hear the words through all the modulation. Standing at basement ATM. Can see concert on flat screen. The band stops.
It suddenly hits him.
The Brooklyn band deliver a blissful psychedelic rock album steeped in sci-fi and spirituality, awash with organs, strings, and reverb. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2021
It's a sharp live recording of a wild post-punk band putting it all out there. This will do (for now) since I haven't seen them live...which is a shame.
