Nothing can prepare you for the way Dean Johnson peers deep inside you.

The tang of fall is in the air, though the days are dressed for summer. I missed Frankie and the Witch Fingers when they were in town a couple of months ago due to work travel, and I was supremely bummed, as their particular take on electropunk is right in my wheelhouse. Tonight’s selection is a weird little experimental number from their latest release, which I highly recommend.

You’re not crying, it’s just Water From Your Eyes.

It's a story as old as robots themselves, and Röyskopp is here to tell the tale.

They said it was difficult terrain to traverse, but that never stopped Forth Wanderers from blazing a path.

The aleatory nature of playlist selection for The Lacking Organization means all-instrumental sets are rare, so having two in one show definitely merits a mention in the show notes. Tonight’s highlight is Mac DeMarco, whose new album provides the perfect soundtrack for this particularly floaty stage of summer.

Stand well clear of Wet Leg as they bring the high voltage to their brand of CPR.

Here comes King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard, confounding headline writers and making themselves at home in your psyche.

Peach season is hot and heavy here in the Grand Valley, but I have yet to reach peach oversaturation. Give them to me in anything and everything, sure, I’ll try it. A special selection tonight in the form of The Beat, a one-hour set of music self-referentially dedicated to its own rhythmic components, after which things took their usual turn for the weird.

Turnstile are here to maintain disorder, whether you have the fare or not.
