introducing Artificial Go - debut 12" Hopscotch Fever
Howdy folks, another hot summer announcement for ya. This time, I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Artificial Go from right here in Cincinnati. I would crown AG as Cincy's most exciting new export, firmly in the punk cannon but unique and brilliant. Their debut album, Hopscotch Fever, is out September 6 and available to preorder now. Have a listen to the single, "Pay Phone" and video, filmed at one of my favorite summer ice cream spots, Putz's Creamy Whip. -Sam
Artificial Go is a new four piece hailing from the DIY post-punk scene of Cincinnati, Ohio. Local labels Feel It and Future Shock have teamed up to co-release Artificial Go's debut album, Hopscotch Fever. Consisting of eight tight tracks, this debut is just that: an introduction. A little bit mercurial, a little bit iconic. Artificial Go is operating out of their own genre - not quite post-punk, not quite pop. Hopscotch Fever seems to have been recorded just outside of the collective-genre-periphery to form some sort of extraterrestrial kind of music. With angular guitar breaks, bouncing rhythms, and jolting vocals, Artificial Go is truly here on their own terms. -Jacob Mouser
