SOTD 6/4: Ithaca's Former Finest



































It was a few years ago that I found myself in a hotel room for two weeks in Ithaca, New York. It's nice country there, but it was summer, the colleges were empty, and there was nothing to do. Around 2 in the morning, a local access cable show came on, I can't remember the name, all I remember for sure is this trippy video and a gorgeous racket making me reach for my notebook to write down the name of the band - The Flashing Astonishers - and the amazing song:

On Involuntary Bliss 04 on involunatry bliss.m4a

It reminds me a bit of early shoegazer bands like Ride or a less distorted My Bloody Valentine. It definitely has a 90's rock feel - but I ain't gonna lie, that's a compliment in my book.

Here's a bonus

Four Chords

(apologies, not sure why files won't play all the way through - just moved them to fileden and things aren't going swimmingly...yet...)
