A Very Special Episode – “Strobes”

Country: US

Genre: Post-Punk

Words From the Artist: “Strobes” is a high speed, fever dream; a technicolor mad dash down the highway at 100 mph. Art and media are at their best when they feel dangerous, dancing a fine line between providing the audience with an exciting and groundbreaking misadventure and not coming off so intimidating and aggressive that you alienate them. “Strobes”, both the audio and video, is a celebration of that idea and feeling and how fun it is to dance around that line without being completely sure of how close you are to crossing it or not. In that spirit, the lyrics reflect on receiving too much of a good thing at once, or the fear that arises in the realization that you’re over indulging in the moment when it may already be too late to pull out.

Sue Your Landlord – “Stuck on a Moment”

Cold Slice – “5 In The Chamber”
