"Right Then" album 2021

Congrats! You are about to enjoy the experimental alternative songs from Peril's album //Right Then// released 03.28.2021, where #SonsofthePioneers meets #Avalanches, #TheyMightBeGiants mashup with #TheAndrewsSisters, #Neu and #Berlin diddle with #LiliVonShtupp and #GaryOwens tangos with #Sparks while #DuranDuran and #KlausNomi sway knowingly in #robertraushenberg -ian delight. //Tickle Me Pink// There’s a thirst that Cherry 7UP alone won’t quench. This poppy come-on begs some important make or break questions for lovers. //Crystal City// Escape with us to a sparking 8-bit rave in D.C.’s underground wonderland where we euphorically dance until dawn. //The Howling Spirits// What if Brené Brown and Ke$ha rapped a power of positivity party anthem about hitting the town with great buds? No h8r vibes, just uplifting encouragement in this shifted, cool, delightfully weird, set-celebrating love fest. //Nickels// Hard and fast in-your-face rock with an in-your-face modern urban reality: the safety net for unhoused neighbors is frayed and fragile. Stand for a minute at the I-405 and Venice Boulevard underpass and contemplate what you can’t stand. Blessed is the one who is kind to the needy. //Playful Memory// Dark and twisted from the perspective of a provocative cluster B creeper harasser who won't take no for an answer. //Stay Tuned for Station Identification// Instrumental interstitial so we can all pause with a deceptive and disquieting signature //The Love That You’ll Find is the Love That You Will Never Find Because It’s the Love That is Always Not Able To Be Found// A leaf drops in a stream, picking up speed on the glistening water. Vocal harmonies build, echo, reverberate. Plucking and plinking on harp strings and piano keys propels the little leaf over the rocks, and swirling out of sight. //Shooting Stick (Hammond Chanted Evening)// Jazzy beatnik tale of a cad about town set on another pool hall hustle. Step up to the table, with changing constellations shifting on mottled green felt, and let the smokey wash of flute, vibes, and trombone soak into your skin while the full, fat moon hangs low. //Eleemosynary// What more can we give to stem the Fake News effluvium and (hopefully) swing the pendulum to reason? Experimental funk with a Scotch step tickles your pluralistic and generous spirit. //Hastened Along// Spy the cosmic movements above! This spacey Komeda-esque alternapop zaps you with a WOW signal, through constellations and around comet tails, with an interstellar missed connection sprinkled with funky dot matrix debris. //Mr. Misery Loves Company// Written with the late Los Angeles musician Michael Sherwood, this spoken word jazzy layered trip explores the challenge of reasoning with the unreasonable, deeply miserable companion who’s obsessed with image and followers. //Key Party// Reluctantly convinced to participate in a swinging swap by eager persuaders, people try on fluid encounters. Try to forget that moment — right then -- that there was someone else. //The Scandal’s Treasure// How do you know it’s over? Hasn’t it just begun? Wistful and sweet piano and strings accompany the post-mortem on a deep divide, with sparse and vulnerable vocal making way for rounds and an effort to find accountability. //Clue You In// An ode to PBS, public airwaves, journalism, democracy, free speech, charity, and pledge drives. Oh, and tote bags. //A Way to Touch// Sequestered and socializing with devices. Making art with microchips and track pads. Finding ways to fire mirror neurons. We have made you this thing. Daly (#atlanta) wrote/recorded the guitar/synths, sequencing and mixing like a boss. Z (#culvercity) came in with a melody and lyrics based on band chitty chat banter about The Great Quarantine of 2020 and made the video. Lee (#atlanta) synthed. Pete (#atlanta) drummed. Cameos in the video by Nancy and Deb and Lori and my sister and other special neighbor people. We hope you are spending time not only waving at your computer screen but also waving at your special neighbor people. We are all in this together. //Otto// Philosophical musings by unaccountable apes, with plucking pipa and bombastic piano bridge. Operators are standing by now to show you the way, so call now!
