Being Dead – Nightvision
Being Dead — the Austin, TX-based project of multi-instrumentalists and best friends Falcon Bitch and Shmoofy — present a new single, “Nightvision,” from their new album, EELS, out September 27th on Bayonet.
“Nightvision” opens with an alluring voice and acoustic guitar intro before kicking into a driving, moody beat, with just enough of the band’s unhinged weirdness peppered throughout. As Paste states, “caught somewhere between garage rock and surfing castaways, [Being Dead’s] music is for the oldheads and the new guard,” and “Nightvision” is another staple in their colorful catalog.
A band whose varying origin stories have been immortalized across the last seven years of being a band, Falcon Bitch and Shmoofy deliver each story with a wink, inviting you in on the joke. Something about their music suggests it’s a dispatch from both the future and the past – vocal harmonies that sound like they’re reverberating in a medieval church to surfy guitar lines, weirdo-punky cacophonies erupting into chaos. There’s the sense that these are two people who are strangers to all that is banal – there is always fun to be had, a little mischievous magic waiting around the corner, if you know how to find or make it.
