The brand new Smut music “Contact & Go” is rooted in indie rock historical past, however not such as you’re pondering. Primarily based on the title, you may suppose the most recent Tomorrow Comes Crashing single takes affect from Contact & Go Data, a massively vital label which — identical to Smut — relocated to Chicago from elsewhere within the Midwest. However it’s really impressed by “Time To Faux,” the enduring opening monitor from MGMT’s debut album Oracular Spectacular. (MGMT shall be the primary to let you know they solely lately turned an indie band, however what does indie actually imply anyway?)
Right here’s Tay Roebuck with a proof:
“Contact & Go” is a damaged fantasy that was fairly straight impressed by “Time to Faux” by MGMT. The pursuit of success and the daydreams we’ve of “making it” are fairly simply shattered as soon as you set that fantasy within the fashionable world. The music ends with the belief that one of the best a part of music will at all times be the group you construct with it.” Within the music’s final moments she sings, “The basement flooded / The espresso burned / The van is damaged down / All of us take turns / Contact and go.”
The music is sweet, by the way in which. Watch director Kelso Antoine’s video under.
