Split

A split single featuring Washington, D.C.’s Escape-Ism and Light Beams. The digital download includes an extra track by each band. Escape-ism is called "the found-sound-dream-drama," "the grieving widow of rock 'n' roll" , the "press play and run away group", the strrrripped down sound machine starring Ian Svenonius, star of Chain and the Gang, singer in The Make Up, author of Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group. Its a single occupancy combo, a one banana bunch, the gestural rock 'n' roll provocation which combines cave person poetry with beats and melody translated incorrectly from hieroglyphs found in arch-pharaoh Cheops' triangle shaped record collection. Escape-ism is a bid at inciting long- ing for a past behind an Iron Curtain, and hope for a future in flames. Escape-ism - hear it, fear it, cheer it.” Light Beams began in 2015 when Justin Moyer (Puff Pieces) - influenced by 80s-era freestyle music and Sheila E. - started playing sampler and timbales with Sam Lavine, the longtime drummer of D.C. hip-hop mainstays the Cornel West Theory. With the addition of bassist Arthur Noll the resulting polyrhythmic melange, sometimes called "zap-tone" or "block rock," reinvents late-20th century dance-pop using the tools of the 21st.
