The post-Zola Jesus wave begins!

Or continues. Or reaches its natural conclusion. I dunno.

This is a video that I watched the other day by a band called Tearist.

All I could think through the whole thing was “this is gonna date really badly”. Every element is just so unrepentantly “NOW”, y’know? People who are currently teenagers are going to send this clip to each other in a decade or so and say “OMG, 2009-2011, WTF were we thinking?!?!”, or scary future-speak to that effect.

I don’t mean by that to imply I don’t like it – in fact it sounds very pleasing to me, and the way the singer stomps on those echo boxes to do the live vocal effects is pretty f-ing cool. Nothing Gang Gang Dance weren’t doing back in 2003 I s’pose, but style never goes out of fashion.
