The Great Nothing

August

Fallin Into Space

This is a punk rock song written in the wake of the glorious train-wreck that was 2020. The song's steady driving beat and ever intensifying bite expresses a sense of hope and resolve to help fight the good fight, whatever that may be. Like many, we found ourselves knocked down and humbled last year, but we have hope the world will come out of it a better place. Much love

Los Angeles band Dummy employ pummeling guitars and celestial ambience within the same breath, folding a myriad of reference points into their drone-pop style. Influence from '60s melodicism and '90s UK noise pop can be found woven-in with inspiration from spiritual jazz, Japanese new age, and Italian minimalism. After releasing two cassette EP’s in 2020 (on Popwig and Born Yesterday respectively), Dummy’s debut full-length album arrives via Chicago’s Trouble in Mind Records on October 22nd, 2021.

Way to Say Goodbye

Back from the whirling vortex of the celestial mosh pit, it’s Fantastic Purple Spots, with their new single, “Flowerland,” the first bloom of a new bouquet of tunes from their forthcoming EP, “Spotsylvanian Lullabies.”

“Spotsylvanian Lullabies” will be the Spots second EP of 2024, both on Austin Town Hall Records. Their previous 5-song EP, “Vibrations Now,” (January 2024) was described by Post-Trash as “folk-ish dreamy psychedelia” informed by “oddball pop,” with “melodies that pop out of every corner,” and the “fuzzier elements of a band like Brian Jonestown Massacre” meet the “harmonies of bands like The Beach Boys and The Byrds.” A review in Rosy Overdrive noted the duo’s “Yo La Tengo-esque noise-pop” combined with a “looseness and irreverence to their songwriting” reminiscent of Flying Nun and K Records.  

The Spots first recording was a 10-song, eponymous DIY release (February 2022) displaying a range of themes and moods, from stomping Pink Fairies-esque protest (“Veterans of Future Wars”), to absurdist pop climate narratives (“Blasting into the Sun,” “Homo Sapien Times,” “Confessions of a Former Glacier”), to spacey, melodic mantras (“Please Come In” and “Rebels of the Hive Mind”). In-between their self-titled debut and first release on Austin Town Hall Records, the Spots dropped the single, “Christmas Ambulance,” a wistful satire of holiday joy and deliverance that conjures the off-key ghosts of The Ronettes and The Crystals. 

Fantastic Purple Spots are Barrett Jones and Dave Junker, musical friends and collaborators since 1988, when they met in a Hausa language class at the University of Wisconsin and bonded over vowels, animal names, 60s punk and the paisley underground. Today, Barrett lives in Norwalk, Connecticut, and Dave lives in Austin, Texas, a distance, they’ve discovered, that is ideally suited for the creation of Fantastic Purple Spots music. 

Spotsylvanian Lullabies is out via ATH Records on December 6th.
