Merry Christmas!
It is with great joy that I share the musical debut of Dear Other, the brainchild of Marc Barnes (of BadCatholic fame) and his cohort from Steubenville, Ohio. Their EP titled The Exitus and Reditus of Andrew Darkside Parrish is a poetic exposé of the search for both the meaning of one's life and the meaning of the meaning of one's life. Delivering a baroque-folk-slash-progressive-punk-mini-opera-of-sorts, the band leaves no philosophical stone unturned in its challenge of modernity's apathy towards moral autonomy. My favorite cut from this is the middle track, featured below. And if you happen to be feeling particularly charitable this time of year, half of the Bandcamp sales for this $4 record go to support the Harmonium Project, an initiative to revive the art culture in Steubenville.
