Upon waking up this morning, the first album that iTunes rudely shuffled

Upon waking up this morning, the first album that iTunes rudely shuffled into my cerebrum was Past Lives lastest EP, Strange Symmetry. Naturally, I found myself pondering the question: Isn’t it too early to be listening to this shit? It’s all heady, post-everything rock and roll and it inevitably woke me to full consciousness. For hours I’ve tried to find a sense of purpose in this waking moment and it finally hit me: Past Lives are playing at Neumos on Sunday night and we’ve got tickets to giveaway. The Seattle-based four-piece are opening up for Autolux, who we recently featured in this week’s music section. If you want a pair of tickets to the show, email us with the words Past Lives in the subject line and a winner will be chosen at random. And even if you don’t win, tickets for the show on Sunday are $12, it’s 21+, and definitely worth supporting. Just not at 5:30 a.m.
