Tim Hecker is impatient. He’s got a Halloween treat for you, but he just can’t wait until then, so you’re gonna get it on October 14 instead (SORRY!). While he knows you were looking forward to a bag full of Twix, Snickers, Gobstoppers, Butterfingers, Nerds, or whatever, he has something even better for you: Virgins!. Now, don’t get too excited — I know what you’re thinking, pervert. No, it’s actually an album of music on CD (yes, people still make those) or LP (yeah, those too actually), and in keeping with the tone of the season, he’s dropped this little teaser called “Black Refraction.” You can watch it in all of its blurry, swinging thurible, cathedral gothic glory above. If you’re still disappointed, I’m sure there’s a gas station right down from your house where you can find any one of the aforementioned candies for about a dollar.
