About Me


***SUNDAY AT THE SPEEDWAY OUT NOW ON OURSELVES COLLECTIVE!!!***
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
Sunday at the Speedway
Alien Father follows up their sophomore release Knives With Journalism with an album that parents everywhere will love. The skronk of Sonic Youth meets the tunefulness of Elton John in harmonic convergence, with production that sounds as good as Phil Spector looks. Subatomic, proto-futuristic guitars cascade with Beethovian pianos and quasi-pragmatic synths juxtaposed over the backdrop of someone playing drums. Angelic voices creep through the mix with the fervor of Pure Divinity. Also features bass. Recorded on a computer. Contains no music. Be on the lookout for the 10 hidden tracks.
Head over to the Ourselves Collective website to download it. Suggested donation $5. (Please include "Alien Father" in the heading or body of the donation.)
