Far from calling it quits, Philadelphia’s Music For Headphones, helmed by the immensely eclectic Jonathan Allen, are using their impending hiatus productively. Although tonight marks their last performance, they have another album coming out early next year, and presumably, will keep making their instantly recognizable hybrid of electronic, psych, garage and post-punk. Their music is undercut with the dourly propulsive Krautrock best exemplified on the road-ready, Can-meets-Suicide "Drive Motorik," from their album Life.In.Mono. But as with any attempt to nail them down, even this inclusive description seems reductive. Suffice it to say, they’re an interesting complement to experimental, gritty rockers Lantern and Moon Duo, whose fuzzy, organ-driven sounds also fall solidly within the Krautrock sphere.
