this album, THE JOHN V. VARIETY HOUR's first official release since 2021, is dedicated to the irreplaceable soul and musicianship of Sarah Goldfarb ( redwidow.bandcamp.com ), and features her heavily, both in recording and in spirit. we love you, Sarah, we always will--and this episode of the Variety Hour is all about LOVE!
find unreleased Variety/Goldfarb treasures bookending the EP, re-arranged and re-produced with refurbished satellites via the inessential aid of wunderkind genius Alexei Petrov ( lartlewaht.bandcamp.com ), along with three new Variety Hour psychedelic dance-floor bangers of varying phantasmagorical degree.
swim thru the angular textures of "Please, Be Undead!"; rave to the space age dance punk of "Chapel"; find your freak in the satyr's hyperdance of "Gender Neutral Song"; backpedal through the blood with the EP's two chief freaks themselves on "..Lion's Teeth"; blast off with the entire ensemble on "Bollard Block"!
this is a space-pop showcase for and from the ages! time is not real, and neither is music, nor anyone involved.
