Artist: KONGRESS
Who: The musical project of 60s survivor Otto von Ruggins.
An experimental, New York based, act being around for light-years,
mixing Space-Goth-Tribal-New-Wave rock and other me(n)tal bangs.
Think legendary eccentrics Devo fooling around with avant-garde
freaks The Residents.
The mysterious Kongress unity returned a couple
of weeks ago with a new EP named SUMMER DAYS.
It’s a multi-ear-eye-layered psychedelic 4-track
exploit that grabs all your aural and visual attention.
Let’s inhale Summer Days track by track.
– SUMMER DAYS –
This hearftfelt musing is accompanied by a ’Sodom & Gomorrah’ video according
to Otto von Ruggins‘ wife and founding member of Kongress. It pays homage to the
Largest Art Parade in America, The Coney Island Mermaid Parade. This is summer pop melancholia looking back at the days when there was still hope in Louis Armstrong‘s wonderful world.
– FUTURE LOOP –
“Money is the root for all evil
It’s the cause of most wars
Tap into the FutureLoop and prepare
Let Religion provide you with Civilty
It’s time for the New 10 Commandments”
This is a wake-up chant written for Judgment Day.
Von Ruggins reveals the 10 new rules we need
to follow to give humankind a second chance.
– SUGAR DADDY –
A razzle-dazzle synth-missile with a whirlwind
of rappin’ samples. Beastie Boys fighting once
more for our right to party.
– ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE –
Rapid-eye-movement surreality on film with lyrics
fed into ChatGPT with Mind-Blowing results.
Make America Intelligent Again.
And fuck Trump, of course
All together on Spotify.
