Atlanta based artist and former Futurebirds keyboardist, Spencer Thomas, returns with Cynical Vision, his third and most incisive album yet, available now via Strolling Bones Records.
Wry and sardonic, this new album balances humor and existential dread in equal measure. The music is a fusion of eras and genres, mixing retro synthesizers, vintage drum machines, and fuzzed-out electric guitars into an intoxicating blend of analog and electronic sounds, tipping its hat to everyone from Randy Newman and Lou Reed to Warren Zevon and Tom Petty as it holds a mirror up to the civilization we’ve created for ourselves, a whip-smart meditation on the sobering absurdity and tragic beauty of living and loving in the 21st century.
