So I Will Not Fall Deep Into The Earth

It appears, based on this nocturnal battle cry (in the great pop gravity wars), that Ricky Eat Acid is not coming down, at least not for these nine minutes; he’d rather free-float in the darkness of nothing, as if still holding those balloons first seen over a year ago, now well past the atmosphere, on a slow, dial-toned course, further away:

Sam posted the track to bandcamp in the wee hours of last night, complete with handmade artwork and a space-punk manifesto.

Interview | Grant Nitsch [Megafortress Videos]

The release is available through Triple You Tapes. And simultaneously, Branches has another other tape happening with Solid Melts, which also got some self-made visuals today.

Last day-trip with Acid Glasses ended in a mess of environmentally unsafe waves, and now these shades get even more disorienting indoors; the walls aren’t even flat at this point, the words are coming out all wrong, and the whole peripheral tint’s been covered in lightning bolts and a parental advisory sticker:

“Linen Wall” is the latest from AG (while the latter just felt right).

King Krule, everyone’s favorite British boy wonder (who plays three sold out NYC shows this week), stopped by Rubber Tracks studio for a short but sweet set, organized by The FADER—expect some video from them; here’s how it went in stills:
