Shameless Tuesdays: Livre 172 | Rayon
Rayon likes to take things on like a '90s hero slacker: slow, cool, and very much in the zone. The Portland-based post-rockers take on consumerism with an ironic laze in "Shopping", a song that could've easily appeared on the Mallrats soundtrack 30 years ago. As for its B-side "Running", it may have a faster beat, but its spirit is both slow and haunting. These two songs are a slick taste of Rayon's impending third album, with the Eric Sabatino-fronted band aiming their sights outside of Portland and towards the rest of the world. And that journey begins here with Rayon's contribution to this week's Shameless Tuesdays!
Here's what Rayon have to say about this week's playlist:
These are what we're listening to right now. Baxter Dury in the band van, in-band jokes about the lyrics.
We love what Jessica Pratt and Kim Deal are writing.
Cleaners from Venus forever and ever. We flew to london to see Martin play his first show in 20-something years.
Some of these are old classics that we're always looking back to or thinking about, some of these are bands on our label, Little Cloud Records.
