The Gods Themselves, The Gods Themselves

Out Sept. 23, self-released, wearethegodsthemselves.com When you share your band and record name with a novel by acclaimed science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov, certain adjectives jump to mind: trippy, unique, mysterious, whimsical, and dark, to name a few. The album is truly eclectic in a way that doesn’t stray from the band’s larger identity as a power/psych-pop outfit. From the Ramones-meets-B-52s opening track “Last Chance for Love” to the unbridled, sludgy bludgeoner “Thunderbird” to the gritty cover of the Ginuwine classic “Pony,” The Gods Themselves seem quite comfortable exploring the disparate realms of sonic possibility. Next show: Sat. Sept. 27, Lo-Fi
