Lightning Bolt – “Spaceman” – Stereogum

Final week, we discovered that Brian Chippendale, the wonderful and terrifying human-octopus drummer for the lengthy-working Windfall noise-rock duo Lightning Bolt, had a brand new band. He’s joined forces with Ty Segall to type a duo known as Wasted Shirt, and their debut album is popping out subsequent mont. However Chippendale remains to be wrecking faces with Lightning Bolt. And at this time, his essential band has a brand new track out on this planet.

Lightning Bolt, who launched the brand new album Sonic Citadel final fall, have simply dropped the brand new banger “Spaceman” as a part of the Grownup Swim Singles collection. It’s a bit extra direct than numerous Lightning Bolt songs. The place the duo can typically get sophisticated and twisty with its modifications and time signatures, this one is only a straight-up rager.

You’d by no means realize it simply from listening, however the “Spaceman” lyrics apparently have one thing to do with immigration. In a press launch, Chippendale says that the track began with an anecdote about fellow Windfall noise band Landed:

They had been on tour and swung into some small bar in the course of nowhere. When the singer Dan St. Jacques sat down on the bar, he jostled some massive dude already seated there. The man, aggravated, says “Hey, be careful, man. I’m a neighborhood.” And Dan, unfazed, seems him within the eye and says “Wow, you realize what? The place I’m from, I’m a neighborhood too!”

Sonic Citadel is out now on Thrill Jockey. Wasted Shirt’s Fungus II is out 2/28 on Well-known Class Information.
