Premiere: Lung – Clown Car Video
Here we are again with another rad tune from the confines of Cincinnati, forever reminding us that labels like Feel It Records are the backbone of the current scene; this time they’re letting us share a great new tune from the duo, Lung. The entirety of the new record began with roots in the tune below, giving birth to this mystical character named the Swankeeper, and while the mythology behind the character grew up here, I’d love it if we merely focused on the musical side for a minute. Sharp drum hits from Daisy Caplan burst into the tune within seconds, letting Kate Wakefield start to deliver her vocal work. Not a moment later, you’re greeted with this cacophony of discord, billowing with anxiety and putting you on edge; I still marvel that this much danger and noise comes from Wakefield’s manipulation of the cello. In a sense, it reminds me of Sleigh Bells, building minimalist hooks in this artistically refreshing way; you’ll want to be sure you order a copy by the time the Swankeeper hits on May 30th.
