The Kindest People and the hyper kinetic art rock carnival ride of "Ray Gun"

 

"now I'm busy making movies..."

The hyper kinetic alt art rocker "Ray Gun" by The Kindest People who hail from the mountains of Johnson City, Tennessee is infused with rushed palm muted guitar lines, spring reverb psychedelia and manic vocal jabs. You might get dizzy from the tightly wound jammy center and whirlwind edges that at their most wild feel like a hoard of 8 year olds high on pixie sticks. It is wonderfully unruly throughout and the shouty vocal aesthetic sort of feels like an amped up version of Modest Mouse. 

"Ray Gun" is from the four piece indie garage rock band's 2020 album "Director's Cut" that, overall, has an over reaching broken carnival mirror atmosphere.
