The Honorable Worm

Best thing lately off the Internet Archive New Releases feed: 123456789 by the Honorable Worm. Sort of lightweight, sophomoric neo-psychedlic pop tunes, with strummy accoustic guitars, el cheapo synthesizer flourishes, and really too much fondness for robotic vocal effects. Fscking brilliant, I tells ya. Arch bubblegum by someone to all appearances an absolute, terminal-case nerd with some very idiosyncratic ideas about, like, self-accualization. Singing from the Jonathan Richman, I-can’t-but-here-goes-anyway school. Go, listen to it all, but standout tracks are “Part the Sky” and “Suffering is Fun” (representative lyric: “Knowledge is Power / but too much can devour). Like nothing else.
