A few months back we offered you a full stream of Texas noiseniksKallohonka‘s debut album,Lazer Blood (which you can revisit here). We hope you’ve recovered sufficiently from that exposure and are prepared for a video from one of the tracks, “Psychic Surgery,” on said long player. In this video, seemingly shot at a gig at the Double Wide club in Dallas, features not only the band—Amie Carson (vocals), James Magruder (bass/howls/auxiliary whatever), Jason Mullins (guitars), Alec Rabb (drums)—in full regalia, but you may also spot a trumpet player and some additional vocalists screaming/yodeling/wailing in agony. It’s a psychedelic nightmare of Butthole Surfers-level insanity. The video for “Psychic Surgery” was shot by Justin Powers, Magruder and Bryan “Wally” Walior, and edited by Justin Powers.
Lazer Bloodwas issued in March via Memory Terminal Records. It’s available for purchase here and here.
Bassist James Magruder offered this cryptic description of Kallohonka’s new video:
“Witness the Chaos, Exultation, and Catharsis of Kallohonka. Become a corvine wizard!An anarchist shopping cart! A 12-foot teetering wheel of pizza! You can be anything, really.”
