Protovulcan is back with their brand new track “Moon Esquilator (You Can Be The Fantasy)“, which the Chicago duo has also made available for download via their Soundcloud page. Drummer Deric Criss (Aleks and the Drummer, Walking Bicycles, Charlie Deets) and keys player Will MacLean (Variety Lights, Ice Cream Mission to Mars, Blue Moth) take their synth punk meets acid rock to new heights of Moog fried bliss on this most recent offering. While “Making Eyes“, the duo’s first salvo from this past May, distinguished itself with syncopated rhythms and a heavily processed Wurlitzer organ that sounded more like a melting guitar, this new cut gets right down to business with a tight interplay between Criss’s off-kilter rhythms and MacLean’s speaker shredding blasts of bass funk. Like the soundtrack to a video game for destroying zombies, Protovulcan navigate this track thru varying levels of difficulty before the pair graduate on to total zombie annihilation!
You can catch Protovulcan live this coming Monday, July 20th at Door No. 3 in Chicago. Things kick off at 10pm, and the band will share the bill with Mordecai (Richie Records) and Werewheels (mbrs of Plastic Crimewave Syndicate & Zeta One).
