Royal Bangs
Knoxville’s energetic, synth-flavored funksters Royal Bangs took a decidedly Lower East Side route to late-night lasciviousness on 2009’s sophomore effort, Let It Beep, marrying fuzzed-out garage-pop clangor to the gritty dance-floor grind of TV On The Radio. “My Car Is Haunted” is a glimpse into Royal Bangs’ neon-lit world: clanging cowbell and synth sounds rescued from Invisible Touch-era Genesis, sealed with a glam-rock stomp chorus that explodes into nonsensical verses about losing your shit in “the age of lasers.” That perspective sounds all the more warped on this year’s Flux Outside, which received assists from Sparklehorse’s Scott Minor and Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann.
