Phantogram - You Don't Get Me High Anymore

Running through emergency rooms
Spinning wheels and ceiling fans
My hand shake, cellophane landscape
Mannequin, faking it the best that I can
Cadillac, Cadillac red
No hands on the steering wheel
I’m crashing this UFO save-a-ho puppet show
Obliterate the way I feel

Really liking this brand new release from Phantogram. A few years ago I met their (then) manager while we were both watching a Seahawks game in the sports bar tent at ACL and that cemented the band on my radar. I'm not a huge fan of the collab with Outkast's Big Boi (his 2012 album and 2015's Big Grams) so I'm relieved that this feels like a return to, or touching base with, what I love about them (I mean, in addition to having a manager who is a huge fan of my 'Hawks).  Looks like I'll get the chance to see them again in November at the new Sound on Sound Fest!

Upcoming Shows

Lemolo - Hold Light

Hanging on what the radio says
Standing tall but it's my knees that bend
Never wrong, never stick out your neck
Looking strong but your hard to defend

How about some cosmic chill out this Sunday, eh? Lemolo, a recent discovery for me, reminds be quite a bit of two of my favorites, Eisley and First Aid Kit, and "Hold Light" is a perfect song to help you wind down your weekend.

Upcoming Shows

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Robot Stop

My body's overworked
It's just the same I know
When can my body work
Cold static overload?
My body works, I know
It's just the same, I know
My only difference
Is robot influence

This week has been all about the awesomely named King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. I know right? With a name like that they kind of have to be amazing. Well, this band from Melbourne, Australia doesn't disappoint. They're as weird and fun as their name implies. Some serious head-banging, trance-inducing, air-guitaring awesomeness. So, yeah, let Nonagon Infinity open the door and fill your ears with some quirky, hard-driving rock.
