Gt Ultra

Gt Ultra

0 - Default Title
Description
The album title GT Ultra is a clever nod to 'Project MK Ultra', the government sponsored experiments using new experimental drugs to explore mind control, and forced confessions, often with LSD as their drug of choice. These tests lasted from the mid 1950's-1960's, but with a new administration in the white house, government sponsored is fresh again on many minds. The songs on the album ricochet back and forth between hyper bouncy pop and deeper darker longer, more nuanced tracks. er Negroponte's drumming, always a major highlight for the band, are in full force once again, this time bringing a Nassau/ Compass Point feel to many tracks, like the classic recordings of Grace Jones and Talking Heads. Kassie's vocals and lyrics are both more personal and more cryptic than ever. But you can hear every word this time, and there is a lyric sheet. As preferred, the meaning is within the listener. It is a dream state record for sure, meant to take you along on a similar vibe that the band has been tripping on these past few years, filled with an insistence to "hydrate, gyrate, think straight, no weight", all the while under the influence of golden beams of orange sunshine, glimmering glitter and kaleidoscopic bursts. It is no mistake the album is wrapped in vintage blotter acid, created by legendary LSD archit and artist Mark McCloud and The Institute of Il Images, based out of San Francisco.
