Mrs. Magician, Them Hills, Nick Reinhart
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Cafe Stritch
(see times)
The title "There Is No God" hardly suggests a bright sunny song, but nonetheless Mrs. Magician translates such an existential crisis into a fun, driving pop tune. It makes sense: the San Diego band is taking garage-rock and surf-pop into newer, much darker territory.
Right at the opening line in the song, singer Jacob Turnbloom sings over a feel-good driving-pop tune the bleak lyrics, "You're all going to die, does that make you want to cry?" The repeated chorus of "There is no God, there is no God" followed by "na na na na na" begs for a singalong.
Regardless of anyone's personal or spiritual beliefs, that certainly is an odd sentiment to transcribe into such an infectious melody.
