You have to wonder how long it took The Machete Archive's Saber Blazek to learn the bassline for Icky Blossoms' latest song release "Perfect Vision." Maybe 2.4 seconds?
The two-chord, slow-sway dance cut from the Omaha band's forthcoming debut — out July 17 on Saddle Creek Records — oozes out of headphones and speakers. Its refrain of oscillating vocals is like a lazy afternoon, drug-influenced bicycle ride. At the end, we're left wondering, "Is it raining, is it snowing? Am I coming, am I going?"
The song is available for download in exchange for an email address. Grab it below:
Michael Todd is Hear Nebraska's managing editor. He doesn't know if the ringing in his ears is from listening to this song on repeat or from Deer Tick's two-hour set last night. Oh, to be young. Reach Michael at michaeltodd@hearnebraska.org.
