"the sound ripped holes across his mind..."
There is something transformative in the sonic storytelling that is "Velocirapture" (The Serpent Flew) by Particle Kid, J. Micah Nelson's future-folk project and featuring Sean Ono Lennon and Mickey Raphael. The sort of decadent vintage Farfisa-esque organ sounds, Micah's far flung art punk vocal aesthetic wonderfully stir up psych rock illusions that float into surreal places. Listening you start to feel that young childlike wonder and the loss of it at the same time. Like the bent surreality of iconic vintage children's fantasy movies that feel like they are more for adults, (like The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T or even, The Wizard of Oz) "Velocirapture" makes you want to feel that unmistakable glow of youth when anything felt possible.

PARTICLE KID AKA MICAH NELSON
J. Micah Nelson comes from a lineage of musical and cultural pioneers, growing up touring with his father Willie Nelson and his brother Lukas Nelson, he has always been surrounded with vibrant and authentic creative spirits. Both a talented visionary artist and iconoclastic musician, he has performed with various acts at events like Farm Aid, Neil Young’s Bridge-School Benefit, Desert Trip festival, Lightning in a Bottle, Coachella, Bonnaroo Festival as well as shows like Conan O'brien, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and more . He has showcased his artwork and music in countless other venues, spanning the creative spectrum. From his involvement in the psych-punk-orchestra Insects vs. Robots, his ongoing musical collaborations and extensive touring with Neil Young, his live performance-painting and multi-instrumental contributions to the band POTR with his brother Lukas, to his cymatic visualizations of dancing water molecules, idiosyncratic charango performance, and singing/songwriting/guitar playing with his future-folk project Pårticle Kid, Micah is constantly exploring the symbiosis of light/sound/vibration, striving to discover new emotions through various forms of expression, and seeking to touch the outer reaches of the synesthetic experience.
