David Strange brings his eccentric psych rock to Knitting Factory on 1/30

David Strange is delightfully weird, devilshly hypnotic, and guaranteed to pull you down into his personal rabbit hole. With psych rock leanings, it’s easy to say that the ex-session musician’s sound belongs to a different era, but there’s a hard-to-place oddness pumping through the twisted heart of his self-titled EP–so much so that it’s perhaps more fitting to say Strange’s music belongs to a different dimension. Stand out track "Aztec Corn" pulses with the grit and glam of old-school rock n’ roll, but has a jaunty, sinsiter quality that feels as if Strange is edging closer and closer to becoming wildly unhinged. The result is a delirously delicious aural treat, especially for those craving something a bit more unusal. You can catch him at the Knitting Factory 1/30 with ZEBEDEE, Logan X, and Toot Sweet, but in the meantime, be sure to stream him below. – Olivia Sisinni
