| Black vinyl, limited to 150 copies. Genre: Retro Rock, Rock and roll The new EP, which is debuting, is their next step. It's All Happening comes just over six months after their full-length, and though the wait between releases seems short, they are still elated about getting the new material out there. This release is more whimsical than the last, with a new attitude hidden in the melodies. The premise of the title track originates in the headgear of friend of the band, Morley Bartnoff, affectionately known as Cosmo Topper. "He's got a city in his hat/ And he ain't got time for tricksters/ A city in his hat/ And his words turn into wizards," the lyrics begin, utilizing catchy slant rhyme and assonance at every turn. It's only natural to begin crafting a SimCity utopia upon seeing Topper's tophat, and Moore tells me: "I pictured him lifting his big hat and a city living underneath, with bicycles and the circus and wizards." |
