Torn Hawk – “Acceptance Speech”
If “I’m Flexible” didn’t convince you that Torn Hawk’s Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time is worthy of your feverish anticipation, try “Acceptance Speech” on for size. Luke Wyatt’s latest “visual single” is an effervescent guitar mirage that sounds like a crackling dub of the Top Gun soundtrack — think Mark McGuire’s nostalgic instrumental sprawl hemmed into a more compact, pop-friendly context. It’s matched with pixellated visuals that seem to be culled from a hallucinatory Photoshop session. All together, it’s a wonderful piece of work. Watch and listen below.
Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time is out 11/11 on Mexican Summer.
