Pre-Order: Chorus Pedal - Missed Opportunity For The World

MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WORLD is an album born out of existential joy and dread. From blasting noise to tape loops fast-forwarding into the vastness of space, there are moments for just about every doomer and zoomer. The album started as a sprawling sound collage whittled down to thirteen tracks that span today's manic spectrum of emotion. Recorded over a year-and-a-half of location and life changes it feels rife with tonal shifts appropriate for the uncertainty of present day living. MOFTW is a pop record. Missed Opportunity for the World is a slight return to standard band format (guitar/bass/drums) but uses loops as the basis for each new movement. Michael Baum and Alan Connor both take turns as lead and accompanying vocalists, swinging from snarling yelps to crooning ballads. A post-everything maximalist kitchen sink ethic includes sample-based beat-driven grooves under harsh or blissful leads. Did we mention this is a pop record? Imagine the disco ball from the cover art dropped on the tile floor, reassembled with tape, and thrown directly into your face.
