As Built PResents continues its September residency at O’Brien’s pub tomorrow, Wednesday 9/15. For fans of psychedelic and experimental rock and ambience, this is a bill to catch.
Moon Climb the Wall‘s recent "Helium Demon" EP is a shades-of-gray, foreboding trip through ambient landscapes, often brushing elbows with hip hop, an unexpected but interesting angle. Peace & Quiet stand closer to rock, but share MCTW’s mind for ambience and rich textures. Their "Inauguration" EP incorporates sludgy drums and vocals by turns spoken, sung and shouted – one of the most fascinating tracks, "I Am Capping," sits synth noodling underneath a frantic and distraught vocal diatribe before a sub-synth bassline that would make gangster rap jealous takes over the space. And MMOSS, the headliner, is a head-turningly good revivalist psychedelia outfit. They have heavy primary-source overtones; that is to say, this isn’t your corner bar’s resident band of Brian Jonestown Massacre fans, but the real deal, a band stemming right from the music of the ’60s and ’70s, and doing it damn well and with a spin of their own.
Here’s an added bonus: The first 20 guests will receive a free poster, and you can get most or all of this music right now for free (or name your price)! Click a name below to grab yours.
