“Atheist Money,” from Adam Stafford’s<\/a><\/strong> forthcoming album, Taser Revelations<\/a><\/strong> (March 21, on Song, by Toad Records<\/a><\/strong>), begins innocently enough. You wait for the expected pop vocal to kick in, but then, at the 17 second mark, what comes along instead is a weird and unsettling “percussive pong” sort of thing. After that, it’s a steady driving guitar melody and then when Stafford’s vocals do come along, they’re like one more pleasant instrumental interlude, warm and bluesy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

More guitar trickles in, vocal harmonies, a synthesizer melody and possibly other things, in and out, ebbing and flowing, like interesting guests drifting in and out of a room at a party. The result is massively hypnotic as the song floats along, taking on different colors and shapes as it passes by.<\/p>\n
