Oh Condor – Emergency Psychic (Blind Rage)
It's been about 8 years since Oh Condor has released anything, or at least that's what I'm seeing anyway. Obviously a lot changes over a time period like that, and Emergency Psychic seems to be a product of such. Ultimately it's a record that finds itself attached to some very 90's indie/college roots, but dashes in some of that cleaner math/emo Cap'n Jazz revival angle that really got people going towards the end of the 00's and into partially the next decade before tapering off again. Weird how shit works like that. Are we still riding out the post-punk wave? Either Oh Condor have dismissed that one completely or just haven't arrived to it yet apparently. Got to respect that though, Oh Condor have eschewed most anything here that people would be gravitating towards right now. However, if you're like me and still have a few button up flannel long-sleeves hanging in your closet (who am I kidding...they aren't hanging), then there is likely something to like or appreciate in some way on this LP. At the very least, the bygone eras of indie will always have its audience and bands like Oh Condor are happy to fill some of that void. Oh Condor – Long and Gone (stream) BUY IT!
