Album Stream: Everything, Now! ‘Do It On The Moon’
Indianapolis band Everything, Now! dropped their fifth release this week. Do It on the Moon may not be the best play at the start of your day. Save this listen for your drive home from work. This album is a celebration.
The band screams dire warnings about the future over joyous romps of punchy guitars and choruses that sound like choirs of schoolchildren, as if testing the audience to see if they’ll get the joke.
On “Imagine 2040”, the lead singer offers a bleak outloook, saying: “In 2040, Russia owns the beaches where the ice caps used to be / And China has moved to the moon, with the fortunes from all those air factories / They’re fighting off the Mexicans in space stations made from trees.” This post-apocalyptic landscape that Everything, Now! has created is humorous but serves as a legitimate look into the concerns of the present.
This album is rock solid, both from a lyrical and musical standpoint. There is no weakest link. This is not a talentless garage band, mashing out harmonyless recording in their stoner uncle’s makeshift recording studio. This is good shit and the kind of album that Indy residents can be legitimately proud of. Listen below:

Tonight: The War on Drugs at Radio Radio
The War on Drugs have been buzzing since the release of Slave Ambient earlier this fall. It brings the team at Thought on Tracks great joy to see Bloomington, Indiana based Secretly Canadian continue to pump out great record after great record. Timing is everything in our world. There could not have been a better time for The War on Drugs to hit the indie rock big screen with their recent spot on Pitchfork.tv
Front man, Adam Granduciel declares that they “pretty much try to approach the live version in the same kind of spirit that the recordings are in.” After a couple months of absorbin Slave Ambient, tonight is Indianapolis’ chance to turn off the record player, get in the car, and head out to Radio Radio. From all of our previous posts and this video I believe The War on Drugs spirit will be alive as they “Come to the City.” Purchase Tickets.
