Gary War makes his triumphant return this summer with his third LP, Jared’s Lot. The mysterious New York musician has crafted another set of earnest progressive synth-rock tunes that wouldn’t sound out of place in an 80s space shooter. “Superlifer” surges along in a futuristic frenzy, powered by propulsive 8-bit bass and clanging guitars. The vocals, meanwhile, are digitized to a robotic sheen, adding to the extraterrestrial epicness. If you’re the type of person who considers the soundtracks of Japanese RPGs to be equally essential as any Yes record, Gary War might just become your new musical obsession.
Jared’s Lot comes out July 24 on Spectrum Spool.
