21 July 2025
Band: BRAINWASHER
Who: New psychedelic project featuring Matthew Duckworth Kirksey and
Tommy McKenzie, longtime collaborator of Oklahoma stars The Flaming Lips .
They will share their debut album 39 Lightyears from Heaven
with the world on October 25th. You can pre-order here.
Info: “It’s 10-piece sonic essay where offbeat rock meets distorted electronica.
Informed by early trip-hop, whether through otherworldly textures or distinctive surges into double-rhythms, augmented by a risquée, new wave-like approach to arrangements, and complete with lightly eerie vocals reminiscent of shoegaze, the duo’s postmodern psychedelic variations showcase infectious melodies beautifully warped through sheer production ingenuity.”
The first single AT LEAST IT BEATS AN ACTOR is a 60s inspired
psychedelic slo-mo serpent that creeps in your head, slowly but
surely. Bass, drums and guitar are on a mind-blowing mission,
while distorted vocals add a surreal effect. Haywire stroke.
The Lips‘ frontman Wayne Coyne directed the video.
