SONG OF THE DAY
Day #8
Happy discover weekly day for those who partake! I am still sick and miserable, so short and sweet today.
Today's song is Where’s My Brain??? by Australian Psych-Rock band The Lazy Eyes. From their 2022 debut album Song Book, this one is a pit starter wriggling into your brain turning on your dance switch. I've seen The Lazy Eyes live four/five times and they don't disappoint. This one is a groovy jam session that feels like a playful conversation back and forth between guitarists, drums, and bassist. This rich and whimsical track is a fun showcase of the band's talents and I encourage you mystical internet force to check out the rest of the album!
“I find all my hair
Lost in the sheets
The sheets of my bed
I lost all my love
Lost down the drain
Along with my brain”
SONG OF THE DAY
Day #19
The song of the day is the instant adrenaline hit that is Tally-Ho by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets from their 2021 album SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound. The Australian psych-rock and indie-rock six-piece group hails from Adelaide, and is one of my favourite bands. They are similar in energy to that of spinning and unleashing a kid on an unsuspecting pinata: full of sugar and ready to fuck shit up. They are often compared to contemporary psych rock pioneers King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. It's a good comparison, but in my opinion, Crumpets are far more unbridled as they soothe my unmedicated brain hitting that itch that also tends to crave hyper pop or even Mario Kart tunes. I have seen them live twice, in 2022 and April this year, and I was lucky to get centre barrier both times. I can guarantee that the chaotic joy curated in their recordings is matched and succeeded during their live shows. Tally-Ho is an instant energy booster and feels like peering in on a dynamic jam session. The song starts swinging with punchy guitar and drums, gibberish lyrics, and in no way gentle vocals. The song then truly begins to take off with a shout-along peak that preps you for a breakdown that has your neck hurting. Crumpets are not for the faint of heart, they are unapologetically chaotic and intense after all, but I've found that those who vibe with their sound tend to absolutely love them.
“More alcohol, caviar, carry on with our fluid conversation
On matadors, sycamore, furthermore
l establish ground for what is zero, patio, chemical basis
One more line of avalanche-winterland-handicap
Bleeding from the nostril
Desolation riser”
