Zach Hill: “Second Life” (feat. Devandra Banhart)

-

Though I’ve yet to hear Zach Hill’s latest album, Face Tat, it’s on the wish list and will hopefully be in my possession very soon. In the meantime, Hill makes a psilocybin-enriched return to VHS with “Second Life.” Enjoy.

Sincerely,

Around every corner, excitable men with orange flags will wave you into their grasp: “SHOW PARKING! EIGHT DOLLARS!” I wound up spending ten when all was said and done, avoiding the extra gratuity suggested by the toothless crack addict that loudly waved me into my parking spot. My brother and I quickly walked a block or two and made it into the club after a thorough pat-down and a couple ink stamps were applied to the back of our hands, assuring the meathead with the flashlight upstairs that we were both legal to drink.
