Much has been said about the show on Sunday at Neumos in Seattle. I love Talbot Tagora and I have massive respect for the virtuosic playing of Past Lives, but the Dead Science really stole the show in exactly the way I hoped and expected. Sleek, anachronistic vocal melodies crept deep into my heart. Ominous broken-family theatrics and mythalogical allusions to "the American underground," which (for one glorious moment) I imagined encompassing everything from David Lynch, to Sonic Youth, to the DIY zines, complety won me over.
Also, a few years ago I saw my first poorly-attended, underground, all-ages show in Seattle at Ballard's the Paradox, featuring the Dead Science. Life changing.
