Self-described as "Syd Barrett singing Happy Birthday to David Byrne", 8-bit crEEps are a psych-wave quartet in a polygamist marriage with new-wave synths and fuzzed-out guitars held together by driving post-punk beats.
The band has been experimenting with these sonic elements and conceptual storytelling since 2016.
Dimly lit Chicago arcades left strange impressions on young minds. This is where you'll find those impressions. Inspired by a lone, nameless man. His dilated pupils were equal parts apathy and anxiety. Desperately foraging in the pocket of his jean jacket for one last quarter, the square-wave soundtrack was a worm in his brain.
We would ask that you attribute any defective material to the stresses of nepotism, capitalism and cognitive dissonance.
This music scene is giving us the creeps, so take our advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
