Sporting 70’s haircuts and a mix of collars and turtlenecks, The Wicked Whispers‘ psychedelic “Chronological Astronaut” lays out the trek of an astronaut as he observes his fixation – in space terms, of course (Saturn comes up more a few times). But we don’t get to see galactic objects as much as we get a close up of the band singing with a backdrop of fuzzy stars and fireworks. We also get a look inside their minds: “There is no counting the time…. In my head there is nothing but night.” The beat moves forward with trumpets and a fun drumbeat, yet somehow remains trance-y as you start seeing double from different angles. It’s Electric Light Orchestra meets marching band.
