What's The Story?
There are only two stories: someone comes to town, and someone leaves town. Sometimes it feels as though popular music suffers from this same morbid fate, and then a band comes along and does this. Holy Fuck are an electronic post-rock instrumental act from Toronto. That's a mouthful, but they're worth that--they set out to make electronic music using real sound effects from toys, a film synchronizer, etc. They have three full length studio albums; this is the second track from the third album.
Who's To Blame?
A tax accountant once known as The Bossman.
Why ♥ It?
This song begins by showcasing a funky bassline and a beat for walking down a road in the '70s. Once the electronic sounds kick in at 0:20, I get such a (Pink Floyd's) Run Like Hell feeling from the song. Music for walking down the road stoned in the '70s.
I really love the back-and-forth feeling from the bassline in the bridge (0:36). It feels like it's screaming "make a decision!" at me: pretty admirable for a bass guitar. It's really cool, and does a great job building for the chorus, which also feels a travelling-sort of drum and bass interaction... much like the verse, into which there's a smooth, barely noticable transition.
That's pretty much the whole song; there are those three parts, and the electronics change in various permutations and movements the whole time. I feel kind of like I'm listening to Kyuss at times. With those comparisons all made, needless to say it's a dandy tune for a space case.
