Overhead, The Albatross

Big River Man

Joel Frieders | September 4, 2015

Overhead, The Albatross bro. 

Normally I would be singing that and I'd have my arms out like a scarecrow and I'd continue with "hangs motionless upon the air" because I really, truly, loved the marijuana in me youth bro. 

But this band? HOLY SHIT! THEY HAVE BUCKETS AND LADDERS!! THIS IS SO BALLLLLSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Normally, I prefer my post rock with a sense of dread ontop of the underlying beauty of suspicion while coated in patience and layered in pleasure, but BRO! THAT IS THE NAME OF THIS BAND'S NEXT ALBUM! Overhead, The Albatross will be releasing "dread ontop of the underlying beauty of suspicion while coated in patience and layered in pleasure" next spring! OMG! WE CAN CALL IT BY ITS ACRONYM DOOTUBOSWCIPALIP!

I'm drunk. Sorry.

No, but if you've ever wondered if it was possible to have something so fucking beautiful give you both the urge to cry and the urge to scream, listen to "Big River Man". But if you're into crying with your eyes wide open, WATCH THIS VIDEO TWICE. IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER. When the entire population of French Lick, Indidna is out in front and they're all playing everything and chanting? I HAVE LOST MY SHIT! HOLY BEAUTY! HOLY THANK SATAN THIS EXISTS! LET THE WEEKEND BEGIN! FOR WE HAVE SEEN THE BEST THING WE WILL SEE ALL WEEK!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

DON'T EVER STOP CREATING! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

New band to obsess over? GOT IT!
