Daily noise that works faster than caffeine

82-year-old VU legend JOHN CALE is one of those artists who’ll never stop
making music until his final breath. Back in January 2023 he released one
of the finest records of that year with Mercy. It featured invitees such as
Animal Collective, Weyes Blood, Sylvan Esso, Laurel Halo, and, yes, British
misfits Fat White Family.

Only 18 months later Cale has bagged another album. He named it
POPtical Illusion and he will share it with world on June 14. The songs
were written around the time he worked on Mercy.

Ahead of it, following lead single How We See The Light
we can taste another apéritif with SHARK SHARK.
A rotating, metallic groover that rolls on like forever.

Cale: “Sometimes, you write a song purely for a mood. “Shark-Shark” has
two versions — both a nod to finding humor in music. When youʼre feeling
too much of the real world, the best diversion is something that puts a grin
on your face.”
