Tonight: Blue Sky Black Death at Neumos


Is this chillwave? Or ambientcore? Electroecstasy? Doctor, I'm not certain of the classification, but the species is definitely make-out music. Blue Sky Black Death is kinda like two horses at a racetrack, one named Massive Attack and the other named Apparat. On a whim, you decide to bet on both and as fate would have it, they cross the finish line at the exact same time. You win a ton of money and suddenly there is a mint julep in your hand and you are leaning against a tree in an empty field and a dark-haired girl/boy (choose your own fantasy) is leaning in to kiss you. Yeah, it's like that.

BSBD is a Seattle-based duo of producers that create gorgeous, somnolent electric lullabies with the faintest trace of their hip-hop roots glimpsed like a forearm tattoo peeking from beneath a shirt sleeve. Seattle's Bonobo perhaps. Orchestral samples blended with live instrumentation and childlike vocals blooming against a wall of stripped down, slow-motion breakbeats. Their work with vocalist Yes Alexander from the record Slow Burning Lights is exceptional and you may become pregnant just by listening. Yes, even you, gentlemen. The vibe is just that sexy.

Headlining the show at Neumos tonight along with Nacho Picasso, Kung Foo Grip and others. Doors open at 8 pm and tickets are $10 dollars.
