Five Things We Liked This Week – 20/04/18

Further Listening: 5. Jim James Plays The Fool As the frontman of My Morning Jacket, a member of Monsters Of Folk and a successful solo artist in his own right, you’re almost certainly alread…

We’re probably coming at this the wrong way round, yet we first heard about Sons Of An Illustrious Father courtesy of the solo project of their member, Lilah Larson. After releasing Pentimento, one of our favourite album’s of last year, Lilah is now back to the day job, and Sons Of An Illustrious Father have this week announced their intriguingly titled new album, Deus Sex Machina: Or, Moving Slowly Beyond Nikola Tesla. Ahead of the album’s release in June, the band have this week shared new single, When Things Fall Apart.

A New York-based trio, Sons Of An Illustrious Father formed out of, “an inherent need to represent Otherness within personal identity.” Writing songs about “socio-political ideas and sprawling gender theory”, Sons Of An Illustrious Father have created a record they describe as, “a funeral march for our world we have lost.” On When Things Fall Apart, the band manage to create something important, compelling and entirely without cliché. The track flutters through genres, starting off as a slinky keyboard shuffle, before shifting into vaudevillian theatrics then sailing off into an anthemic, almost gothic outro. With the powerful combination of a sound entirely their own and an awful lot to say, Sons Of An Illustrious Father have never been more vital and never sounded this good.

Deus Sex Machina: Or, Moving Slowly Beyond Nikola Tesla is out June 1st. Click HERE for more information on Sons Of An Illustrious Father.

Ella's Song

We begin this episode by reading out loud from Ella Baker Center (where you are also able to find the original song preformed by Sweet Honey in the Rock). We briefly compare Sons' version of the song with the original and then - as always - state the importance of the message we are given. 

We then start squeeing over the fact that we will actually see Sons live (again!) in Brooklyn in June! Which songs do we want dedicated to us? What if we will not get the album before the concert (update: we will)? Should Malin confront them about it (update: she won't have to)?! If we were to bring a gift, what would it be? Salty liquorice? A "bun jar"? Some Jan Johansson? 

Evidently, we are really excited, and when this comes out even more so, since we've now both gotten a new single (When Things Fall Apart) AND a date for the new album (June 1st!)!!! 

Stay tuned~

I call this series, “All members of #SonsOfAnIllustriousFather performing with eyes closed because they’re all so passionate” . I’m also terrible at captions. 🤷🏼‍♀️ . #SOAIF #LilahLarson #JoshAubin #EzraMiller #CmonEverybody (at C'mon Everybody)
