The Natural Riot

Beneath the sidewalk static, transmitted along the underground railroad, and dropped behind enemy lines, Hidden Agenda Records and The Shimmer Kids UnderPop Association are proud to announce the release of their latest collection of coded choruses and secret symphonies, "The Natural Riot": 15 songs about soft police, interplanetary paranoia, getaway cars, and cathode ray romances, filtered through guitars, saxophones, trumpets, organs, xylophones, theremins, and pianos. Straight from the conspiracy conservatory, these compositions of psychological surgery are wrapped in the visions of New Gods and blown circuits, all for the audio pleasure of The People. Soak your shoes in red wine and strike the angels dumb, this is the clarion call that will put an anarchist colony on the moon and a bitter smile on your lips. For the almost-criminal in everyone. Claiming influences as diverse as Spiritualized, The Flaming Lips, Belle & Sebastian and The Ronettes, The Shimmer Kids UnderPop Association has created a wonderfully orchestrated, incandescent sound world for fans of The Zombies and Donovan, the Spacemen 3 family tree and T. Rex, The Orange Alabaster Mushroom and The Green Pajamas.
