Graveface Records remastered Precocious Neophyte’s 2022 album Home in the Desert for a vinyl release and the first single from that reissue is “My Electronic Idol.” The new music video is like a layers of hazy and washed out and then enhanced colors with cityscapes over the band performing in what looks like an abandoned office. Musically its swirling guitar and wailing melodies flowing around ethereal yet intimate vocals are simultaneously soothing and exuberant. Like the songs had a root in being written for a more quiet musical style but translated into complementary soaring passages of sound that get into your head and transport your brain to a better place. Though the recording has the virtue of having a sound like a bedroom production but one imagines this music live having a colossal flood of mind-bending frequencies that don’t sound blunted on the recording so much as cast in a way that a home listening environment can handle. Watch the video for “My Electronic Idol” on YouTube and follow the Chicago-based Precocious Neophyte at the links below.
