more maddening music. but not in a bloodpumping kind of way. this is a more calculated madness. it has a psychedelic quality that seems harder to find in much modern music. it twists and turns in lots of puzzling ways and seems to be glued together like a collage. the lyrics seem nonsensical, but in the grand kaleidoscope of this song, they just fit. this, to me, seemed like it was recorded on another planet (or at least no where i had been). it really got to me.
i had been a fan of olivia tremor control for a while before i heard this song, which i guess i came into contact with on the internet early in college. in a lot of ways, otc was a throwback to some of the best 60s music, but they somehow always managed to not seem derivitive. no matter what the band was doing, but especially in this song, they continued to push envelopes and boundaries. i was fortunate to see a band formed in the wake of otc's breakup (the circulatory system) a couple years ago and they also happened to blow my mind.
this song, certainly, heightened my interest in otc, but it also made me crave more music that challenges, music that makes you feel weird. (and that weird feeling has changed my life.)
