![]() The start of Harry Hood included alternate lyrics (Holy Blankenstein). The whole world turns blue There's a rundown bar Cross the railroad tracks I've got a table for two Way in the back Where I sit alone And think of losing you I spend most every night Beneath the light Of a neon moon If you lose your one and only There's always room here for the lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of. Mike quoted Thanksgiving in Death Don't Hurt Very Long. more than a dozen bright lights clearly visible against brilliant blue sky. Soul Planet contained Knuckle Bone Broth Avenue and Don't Doubt Me quotes. In the Sky Last quarter moon and Spica, mornings of January 24 and 25 read. After the set, the band departed as holograms back up the colored tubes. For I Am in Miami, Trey switched to an acoustic guitar and the band stood together at stage front with the four-mic a cappella setup. Fireworks rained down on the stage during The Inner Reaches of Outer. During The 9th Cube, there were projections of donuts and turtles on a cube above the band. ![]() Before Clear Your Mind, Trey introduced the band as from the year 4680 (the total of the Octosongs as noted during that night's encore-ending Grind). During Get More Down, matching upright geometric shapes danced around behind the band, reducing to the two circles overlapped by Egg in a Hole, which featured pyrotechnics. Knuckle Bone Broth Avenue included extended choreography by Trey and Mike. For that set, the band performed in elaborate costumes (helmets and all), with alternate instruments (Trey on a BCR Mockingbird), each playing within a flashing/glowing shape (two circles and two squares), after descending (in the form of holograms) from the ceiling in cylinders of colored light. Husband and wife duo of Mike Gridley (guitar) and Susan Coleman (bass) are joined by drummer Taylor Bucci to create this collection of guitar-based instrumental music that features heavy grooves and strong melodies. and like i said, i really love the record as a whole, but i just see this song being the orgasmic release that the rest of the album spent its entire time building up to.For the second set, the band's "musical costume" was all debuted originals, performed as the invented band Sci-Fi Soldier (a 14-page comic book distributed upon entry detailed the group's adventure to save the planet). Blue Moon Atlas evolved as a side project of the folk-rock-Americana band Harmonic Dirt. What i ultimately think draws me to this song is that it's the anomaly on this album-it just radiates with positivity (making it a good note to end on). it's a wordless chorus, but by god does it work that vocal melody is just joyous. but the song's real kicker is the chorus, especially the vocals. truth be told, the first handful of times i heard the song, i didn't even pick out the harmonica-that's how natural it sounded. it's obviously not one of cox's go-to instruments, but it fits seamlessly and it's exactly what the song needed for that part. what really surprised me though, was the use of a harmonica during the bridge section. they all have a good functionality and tone individually, but the way they combine and interact make them add up to being more than the sum of their parts. and speaking of guitar, the guitar tracks in this song are just great. ![]() rarely will a song's drum track capture my attention, but there is something fantastic about the drums on this song that i can't quite verbalize (and it wasn't simply the drum intro, though it is good, that made me pay attention to the drums) i think it has something to do with how they interact with the rhythm guitar part. I just absolutely love everything about this song's arrangement. it is so catchy and usually forces me to dance-something about its rhythm makes me gyrate side to side in a thom yorke fashion. in a slightly different musical climate, i could see this song being played on the radio. that's not to say that texture and mood have been sacrificed, i just think the songwriting has become a lot tighter.Īnd this last track on 'parallax' appears to be evidence of just that. i haven't really heard any of deerhunter's pre-'cryptograms' material, but every release that cox has been a part of since that album (solo or otherwise) has shown a shift where the focus seems to be more on songwriting and arrangement, as opposed to simply texture. in fact, i really love that bradford cox is embracing his pop sensibilities more and more, be it with his atlas sound records or with the band deerhunter. It is such an unabashed pop song and i don't mean that in a bad way. i'm really enamored with the 'parallax' album as a whole right now, but to my ears "lightworks" is the standout track that gets my neurons firing-it just really makes me happy. That is the word that constantly comes to mind when i listen to this song. ![]()
