Unlettered Shares ‘Bric-A-Brac’
New LP, Devil’s Bowl, out June 26
Mike Knowlton, he of such stalwart post-punk outfits as Gapeseed and Poem Rocket, is back with the latest transmission from his current project Unlettered.
The Florida-based group’s latest endeavor, Devil’s Bowl, comes out June 26, but Rock & Roll Globe is proud to premiere the video for the album’s third single, “Bric-A-Brac,” today on the site.
Working alongside co-lyricist Kelly Grimm, who sings throughout Devil’s Bowl, the pair offers no comfort for those looking to abide by the spectacle of modern American life and the trappings of instant gratification.
Like the bands they grew up on like Lungfish, Polvo and Unwound, Unlettered’s music moves like rolling waves of a choppy ocean, especially “Bric-A-Brac,” with its message of societal fealty to corporate oligarchs.
“‘Bric-A-Brac’ reflects a culture where meaning is endlessly repackaged and stripped for parts,” Knowlton explains. “In a landscape saturated with branding, performance and distraction, the song examines how people themselves become commodified, shaped, managed and quietly owned by systems far larger than themselves. What remains is noise masquerading as connection.”
The video for the single, which you can check out below, further illustrates the sentiment.
“This interactive video places the viewer inside a swirling storm where lyric fragments accumulate in real time with the music, and allows the viewer to add their own gravity, placing personal phrases briefly into orbit before they drift back into the field,” Knowlton explains. “We thought this connected well to the song’s examination of how individual meaning dissolves into a system that just keeps generating more noise.”
