Bourgeois Mystics – “I Deal Ideals” (audio)
‘Eureka!’
Bourgeois Mystics – Apr. 14, 2017
*Bourgeois Mystics – “I Deal Ideals” https://open.spotify.com/track/4EIUW9pAbduSRo7BXLiRVR // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGYL4sivHG8 // “Bourgeois Mystics is a for-profit, personal growth cult and “genre-defying dance party waiting to explode,” headquartered in Austin, TX. Founded in late 2014 by four acquisitive ascetics, they quickly bloomed into a multi-national sonic powerhouse, focusing their expressive musical talents on a completely original sound reminiscent of the abstract wit of MF DOOM, zany dorkiness of The B-52’s, epic arrangements of Ennio Morricone, and funky grooves of Jamiroquai, all culminating in a distinct sound that’s been described as “Zappa meets OutKast”.” Who sent me two of their CD’s? Was it you?*
