12 Songs: Radio Obscura Vol. 3
Reject harmony. Embrace dissonance. Radio Obscura is back, with our most mercurial medley yet. Featuring music from:
Boogie Down Productions. The chorus to “9mm Goes Bang” will permeate your brain tissue, permanently. 100% guaranteed. Sorry in advance.
Mink Mussel Creek. An early Kevin Parker riff, ostensibly recorded before he discovered the Flaming Lips. More sludge, less psych.
Os Mutantes. Brazilian vocal-pop with a tinge of psychedelia. Think the Seeds meets the Mamas and the Papas.
Boomgates. A low-key Aussie gem, featuring Brendan Huntley of Eddy Current Suppression ring on vocals.
Monde UFO. The Los Angeles indie outfit make easy math of Fugazi’s “Long Division.”
