Listening Now : Illiterate Light – Always Always

Illiterate Light, the dynamic duo with Jeff Gorman on vocals and guitar and Jake Cochran smashing those drums, recently unleashed their EP Aloe via Thirty Tigers. Always Always is their jam, a playful track celebrating the quirks and dreams of a decade-long love saga. Drummer and crooner extraordinaire Jake Cochran takes the mic for this one. It’s a punk daydream meandering through the past and future while their music video hilariously sticks in the now, chronicling Jake’s epic quest to haul a massive chunk of limestone back to its quarry home in Harrisonburg, Virginia. And that track? It’s an instant indie psych classic with new wave hints, channeling the spirit of Talking Heads and the wild child of Fleet Foxes.
