Omega Swan released their single “Earthbound” on February 11th, with the underlying message: “We just want people to do whatever the f**k they want, no rules.” It’s stripped down and a little bit more New Wave than their party-heartier May 2013 “OS-1,” kind of what half of Devo would cook up in their garage. Personal objection to nihilism by and large aside (will no one think of the children?!), it’s a great track from a hard-rocking and endlessly entertaining band. A band that will be at the Other Basement this Valentine’s Day with Plastic Visions, Designer, Rachel, and Dogs of Oz, starting at 8pm and followed by a dance party DJ-ed by Treekeeper. If ever there was a night to get lucky, it would be this one. You’ll be leaving with a pocket full of panties. –Terra James-Jura
