The new single from the Orlando-based psych project Timothy Eerie is the perfect antidote to hearing one too many pandemic-inspired bedroom projects: a full-blown, full-band jam landing at the intersection of Thee Oh Sees at their most animated, vintage ’70s prog with its organs still intact, and at least one iteration of King Gizzard that reaches the apex of that band’s pummeling density. “I wrote the song a couple years ago,” the band shares of “Acid Lake,” a pulse-racing track that never really gives the listener a chance to catch their breath. “I wanted to try something a little heavy.”
The video, on the other hand, channels the goofiness-in-the-face-of-chemical-mutilation of The Toxic Avenger, with animator Arutro Baston (who’s worked with Oh Sees, as well as Death Valley Girls and Frankie & the Witch Fingers) taking the reins. “The concept for the video is that a lab flushes some chemical waste, which starts affecting the ecosystems of the local lake and eventually the entire world,” the band adds.
