Organ Thing of the Day: Now this is a rather beautiful thing, a rather beautiful piece of music, and yes music is indeed a gift to share. Household Gods is a band. David Pajo (Slint, Papa M), Vern Rumsey (Unwound), Lauren K. Newman (LKN Band, Palo Verde) and Conan Neutron (Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, Replicator). A piece of music from an album recorded at Rancho Del Luna studios in Joshua Tree by Dave Catching. “No expectations, no rules, no problem” they say.
“The samples within this song are from various interviews and are utilized in their modified form with nothing but respect for the source material. This song, along with the whole record is dedicated to the memory of Lauren K. Newman (LKN) 1978-2019, a bright and shining star. We love her and miss her very much and we speak her name. Rest In Power. Music is a Gift, Rock and Roll For Life”
For more information about the whole Household Gods album head to the band’s Bandcamp page, the album comes out June 5th
