The brand new Smut music “Contact & Go” is rooted in indie rock historical past, however not such as you’re pondering. Primarily based on the title, you may assume the most recent Tomorrow Comes Crashing single takes affect from Contact & Go Data, a massively vital label which — similar to Smut — relocated to Chicago from elsewhere within the Midwest. But it surely’s truly impressed by “Time To Fake,” the long-lasting opening monitor from MGMT’s debut album Oracular Spectacular. (MGMT shall be the primary to inform you they solely not too long ago grew to become an indie band, however what does indie actually imply anyway?)
Right here’s Tay Roebuck with an evidence:
“Contact & Go” is a damaged fantasy that was fairly instantly impressed by “Time to Fake” by MGMT. The pursuit of success and the daydreams now we have of “making it” are fairly simply shattered as soon as you set that fantasy within the fashionable world. The music ends with the conclusion that one of the best a part of music will all the time be the neighborhood you construct with it.” Within the music’s final moments she sings, “The basement flooded / The espresso burned / The van is damaged down / All of us take turns / Contact and go.”
The music is sweet, by the best way. Watch director Kelso Antoine’s video beneath.
