When I was in middle school, my English teacher was a knobbly old Jewish grandfather named Mr. Rose. He had all kinds of stories about driving a yellow taxi in NYC before he went back for his masters’ degree, or teaching at a Catholic school in Belfast during the Troubles, or going to shows at the Paradise or the Orpheum in Boston. Sometime between periods, I can’t remember the exact context, we got to talking about rock music. I was a pretentious little brat, just barely scratching the surface of commercial indie rock. He said that he had heard of Arcade Fire through his son. I lied about having listened to the Velvet Underground. He said "You like the Velvet Underground? Do you like the Modern Lovers?" I said I hadn't heard of them. The next day, I let him borrow Permalight by Rogue Wave and he let me borrow his copy of The Modern Lovers. I think I came out ahead.

I had never heard of Lying Season until they hit me up to book them for a show at Bruce’s, the DIY venue I ran out of a metal forge in rural New Jersey (I used to be so fucking cool, man -- what happened?!). Apparently, their singer had played guitar in Hydrangeas, another band I had booked (and one which, if they ever release any physical music, I will certainly review here). They described themselves as “internet music”, a term I usually associate with genre-fucking solo projects with weird samples and re-pitched vocals by people who are allergic to the term “hyperpop”. Imagine my surprise when they pull up with a four piece band in addition to their Boss SP-303 and pull off some gnarly shoegaze - and I mean real shoegaze.
