I like forms and forms like me

I am not surprised that I had never heard of Pylon before tonight. I am also not surprised that I love them. They are spiky and spare and apophatic—the musical equivalent of Ceci n'est pas une pipe, only headbangingly danceable. Their catchiest songs are anti-anthems. This after I spent much of today plying asakiyume with mythic folk. Maybe it's the same angle of my brain that really likes Pierrot Lunaire.

Yay.

You should then appreciate, if you have not already heard it, her "Backwards with the Folk Song."

Hey, libido, bats in the belfry
Jolly old Sigmund Freud!
