Step right this way for New Improved E-Z Esoteric Ascension, folks! Aim high, shift your brainz into overdrive --
and go for the indigo!!
[From Haley Fohr aka Circuit des Yeux, Reaching for Indigo LP/CS/CD, U.S. release 20 Oct., 2017 on Drag City.]
Exemplary brainshift in successful operation:
Somewhat less-successful brainshift:
Of course one might prudently opt to tie up all the loose ends (and, as well, untie all the
Gordian knots) [font=Roboto, Arial, sans-serif]one can down here at mundanely exoteric ground-level [/font]before leaving the world behind . . .
[From Stereolab, Emperor Tomato Ketchup, U.K. release 18 March 1996; U.S. release 9 April 1996]
Some of the usual kind of head-in-the-clouds metaphysical blarney that musicians irresponsibly spout from the parapets
of the fantasy castles-in-the-air of their sheltered existences:

Typical musician-philosophy:
It takes a while to get over one's uniquely-idiosyncratic habituation to everything --
truly seeing the world from another's viewpoint helps break this conditioning.
Down-to-earth flight-preparatory sound patterns, useful for building morale whilst cooling one's jets, waiting for Godot
to give the go-ahead for final lift-off:
Khruangbin [Thai, เครื่องบิน, "flying engine" or "aeroplane"] is a fine upstanding & uplifting world-traveling
trio of youngsters from Houston, who record their albums of [font=sans-serif]global-music/classic soul/dub/psychedelia-influenced [/font]
[font=sans-serif]music in a [/font]barn in the small town of Burton, Texas. Extraordinarily minimalistic in equipment/effects and maximally
powerful in the spirit projected, they are better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick more than somewhat.
Interestingly, every time beauteous bassist Laura Lee dips and sways, another angel gets its wings.
Guitarist [font=sans-serif]Mark Speer and drummer [font=sans-serif]Donald Ray "DJ" Johnson Jr. also loiter on stage, making various tolerably[/font][/font]
[font=sans-serif][font=sans-serif]appropriate & absolutely killing noises [/font][/font]now and again as the mostly instrumental pieces wend their melodic, harmonic,
and percussive way hither and thither through the aesthetic aether.
The matching indigo-energy-suffused Ramones-wigs give the front line their super-powers. The backline has
opted to match noggin-skin with drum-skins, thus simplifying matters and streamlining the situation.
