psych-pop

these two vicious bastards (black mekon and his brother black mekon) were named after the legendary black mekong, illegitimate children of prostitutes visited by missionary preachers, abandoned to fend for themselves on the banks of the mekong river. raised in a whorehouse by drunk dockworkers in a town called christ's gasoline, they were born with only one arm between them and grew up selling sand to sailors and wrestling vermin and wives for the amusement of the locals.

Expensive Looks, the pseudonym for New York-based psych-pop bedroom producer Alec Feld, meld tropical garage breaks, shimmering visceral chants, and disco-edged house to kick back to the displays of natural forces and days of unparalleled euphoric ecstasy. Akin to creations of early garage titans and wonders transfused with codeine-soaked acid jams, the smoothly ethereal yet grimy sounds reveal the inner-workings of towering, crashing polar shifts.
