What’s it all about? Probably just smoking a whole bunch of weed and enjoying some alcohol or whatever, isn’t it. And that my friends, is the true spirit of Adelaide, poured out by our new buds Anti.Dreams on this record ‘I Don’t Have Much Time Left’. You know what I’ve always loved about prog rock? The idea that the songs are ‘progressive’. That the longer a song goes on, it progresses, moves forward, or gets better whereas – and can we be real here? – the reality is that prog rock records actually become worse the longer they continue. That’s not to say that they literally deteriorate, it’s just that you probably didn’t wanna be listening to prog rock when you started so by the second half of the record the experience is usually even worse. Of course, this is a long winded way of me suggesting that this IS a song that deteriorates or devolves by design. The duo start slurring their words, pitch shifting their vocals into uncomfortable areas and warping the production upto the point where, in line with the video, the music itself sounds kinda drunk as hell. The final nail’s driven in around 2:45 when it flips into a Travis like cadence with simmering beeps and blips to the production and old mate raps about driving a tesla into the ocean (a goal for all of us to aspire to). The two of them are Albert (probably) and Richy (maybe). Get em on yr radar.
