In the urge to explain and illustrate, Still House Plants’ latest record has conjured a vast collection of creative one-liners. And, to be frank, it might take you some acrobatics to honorably capture what’s going on in the mazes of If I don’t make it, I love u. Jenn Pelly of Pitchfork has described the trio’s fractured math-rocky sounds as “made of nerve endings”. And Rate Your Music user 1dollar44 has envisioned the album as if performed in “zero gravity”. Taking that final figure of speech a tad further; within that zero-g chamber, elements swirl, bounce off one another and merge as colliding pieces of goo. At times, the effect is spiky and angular. At others, pure bliss. In the rough-and-tumble lies a friction that got us totally clawed, hooked and gripped. We will host the spellbinding trio for two concerts on a Sunday in the epilogue of this summer. The first in the afternoon, the second at night, both at the equally warm-yet-harsh Salon de IJzerstaven. We’d love to welcome you there.
