KARABAL NIGHTLIFE

Posted by Samantha - filed in Events

Psychedelic rock serves variously as a baseline and a horizon for this Massachusetts band, which absorbs the weirder 1960s pop conventions into an earnest mannerism. “Shall Noise Upon” (Headless Heroes), Apollo Sunshine’s third album, revels in the trappings of a time-stamped delirium: echo-trippy vocals, analog keyboards, British accents, fuzz-tone guitars. There are lyrics about vibrations, love, reincarnation and currency. One song is called “Green Green Lawns of Outer Space.” What keeps the whole enterprise from slipping into camp (most of the time, anyway) is the care exhibited by the musicians, especially Apollo Sunshine’s core members, Jeremy Black, Sam Cohen and Jesse Gallagher. Playing many different instruments, sometimes switching off to one another, they forge a slippery continuity out of messy glory. Sometimes they also manage beauty. – NY Times
