the morning after: photons 3/25/17 album release party brings joy, hangovers

SUNDAY MARCH 26, 2017 --

Today feels like Boxing Day. 

Saturday night's album release show was Christmas...

WFPK’s “Live Lunch” was Christmas Eve... 

...and now, on the Sunday after, there's nothing left to do but relax and play with CD-shaped toys.

As tonight comes to a close, I'm feeling good. (And, if you recall, "good" is exactly how Nick intended concert-goers to feel. Mission accomplished). 

Everything is unwrapped, so to speak, and I can finally talk about the album without consequence. Until Saturday night’s show, it was my strange (and purely circumstantial) privilege to have been the only person to have heard the whole album in its final form. While We Still Have the Morning underwent some very last-minute changes -- from artwork to track listing -- and I was sworn to secrecy throughout the whole process. For about a week, my day-to-day with Nick went something like this:

Nick: hey come look at this cool thing I made

Me: wow yeah that's really cool can I preview it on the blog

Nick: no

Me: why

Nick: just wait 'till it comes out

Me: but people want to see it [grumbles indistinctly]

I make sure that nothing here is published without the band's consent. That being said, it was really hard not to share any details... and I deserve a medal for keeping quiet. 

While We Still Have the Morning began as your standard list of nine songs, but thanks to one of Nick’s epiphanies (c. Tuesday, 9AM), morphed into something weightier: a concept album of sorts, complete with an introductory track that samples pieces from elsewhere on the album and lends the work a sense of unity. Over the course of about 72 hours, the original bombastic opener was scrapped, as Nick felt that kicking off the album with "another banger" (a la Moonlight) would be too reminiscent of In Infinite Indigo. "It didn't make sense to open with something that would set up a tone that wouldn't be matched elsewhere on the album," Nick said. The band agreed, and thus the album in its final form was born. 

The setlist on Saturday night was wide-ranging: as expected, the band debuted material from Morning, but didn’t over-do it and still left much to the imagination. In addition to tracks off Indigio, some Phourist “deep cuts” (love that phrase) also surfaced: off Terrestrial Daydream, we heard the singsongy “Hello Nothing” and a jazzed up, full-band version of “Floated Along the Milky Way.” We were also lucky to hear an arrangement of “An Android Named C-17″ from The Garage Sessions. “Android,” one of my favorite tracks for its philosophical lyrics and killer melismatic vocals, is tricky to find; it’s not listed on any of the releases currently available online. 

As always, the Photons delivered. The show was rounded out with two more of my favorite local bands: the effervescent Aby Laby Land, and the prog kings of One For The Doc. 

If you missed the show (or weren’t able to snag a copy before they sold out), no worries. Digital copies are available on Bandcamp for $8.

Zanzibar gem (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a flowering plant, not a fern, related to philodendrons. It is a tropical perennial plant native to eastern Africa, from southern Kenya to northeastern South Africa. Common names include Zanzibar gem, ZZ plant, Zuzu plant, aroid palm, eternity plant and emerald palm. It is grown as an ornamental plant, mainly for its attractive glossy foliage and easy care. As such it’s often found in “mall” complexes because of it’s low water usage. I’ve wanted one for some time and finally bought this one today. Propagate by leaf cuttings or by division. #zanzabargem #zanzabar-gem #zanzabar_gem #emeraldpalm #zuzuplant #zamioculcaszamiifolia #foliage #foliageplant #foliageplants #mygarden #myplants #homegrown #australiangardens  #australiangarden #ausgarden #ausgardens #african #rhizome #leaf #greenleaf #green_leaf #tropical #tropicalplant #tropical-plant #tropical_plant #waterwise #drought #shade #traditionalmedicine #airpurify #airpurification (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCRM0eJ840/?utm_medium=tumblr
