Waterloo Listening Party and New Releases

Pizza/Listening Party for the new And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead Album Tao of the Dead, Tuesday February 8th at 5 p.m.

Tao of the Dead is a giant opus of fuzzy psych rock, meant to be imbibed over and over again as one giant piece of music, like some orchestral movement. When you look at the record from that standpoint, there’s several booming successes along with a few somewhat substantial tweaks that could have further boosted its impact.

The opening track, “Let Us Experiment”, is the perfect low-key, minimalist instrumental start you could ask for. It leads off perfectly into tracks like “Pure Radio Cosplay”, a countrified jam of pure fun, which then leads brilliantly into “Summer of All Dead Souls,” a rollicking punk-inspired blast.
