I saw this band open for The Planet The last night at Holocene. I’d read some good things about them on listservs and stuff (mostly from the E*man), and was stoked to check them out. Their sound is kind of a mix of bassy electro stuff like Alter Ego, tribal drumming a la Tussle, and weird psych rock like… um, I can’t think of an example right now. They filled the whole room up with fog, then went ballistic with the strobe light. It was pretty fucking trippy, maybe too trippy, depending on your personal trippitude. I was pretty into it, bought the above 7″ and am pretty into that too. The first track captures what I like about them – that unique mix of electronic and psych styles – and the other two don’t really grab me. I wanted to post that first track but I can’t find it online, so here’s one that’s kind of similar:
Also, The Planet The are awesome. They are on tour now, and very much worth seeing.
