Static Of The Gods
Pac-Man's platform
I bet two crisp, pristine, ink-smelling fresh five dollar bills that if Pac-Man were a real person, he’d have his own political party.
He would have no reason to reach out to the washed, bipedal, human masses with his platforms based on tax rebates for pellet harvesters, better quality mazes for low income families, and improved border security through federally funded ghostbusters. None of the established North American parties would ever add such policies to their agendas, so he would have to go it alone and establish his own party to advance the very limited concerns of people like him.
Which doesn’t mean that Pac-Man wouldn’t be concerned with things like existentialism, something that all intelligent, rational living beings can relate to. Such as Static Of The Gods in Peluche, in which the human condition serves as the foundation for an intuitive, gratifying atmospheric song. As Peluche starts with unassuming guitar chords and rolling drums, vocalist Jen Johnson’s charismatic voice is put to the forefront, her classical training exposed through the tonus of her delivery. Then, without a second of forethought, the song launches into a demonstration of its true potential: an emotionally charged hymn of tempestuous instrumentation. The effects are incandescent and vibrant, choruses as visceral and candid as you can soar into, as reverberating guitars grow in scope to establish this vast, soaring melody, thick with beauty and gleaming with elegance.
And that’s something that even he, not to mention the missus, can identify with.
