IMMATERIAL POSSESSION<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the top of their 2020 self-titled debut,\u00a0Immaterial Possession<\/b>\u00a0sound very much like their name \u2014 eerie, haunting, with something supernatural you can\u2019t quite grasp. There\u2019s an air of\u00a0Joy Division<\/b>\u00a0post punk and a dash of proto-goth\u00a0Siouxsie and the Banshees<\/b>, but more laid back considering the lo-fi presentation and the playfulness with instruments and arranging.<\/p>\n

Singer and guitarist\u00a0Madeline Polites<\/b>\u00a0assures\u00a0PureHoney<\/b>\u00a0that the Athens, Georgia group did not spring from a crossroads or a coven. \u201cCooper Holmes<\/b>\u00a0and I found we both were ripe in the desire to start something fresh and so we made a pinkie promise at an Atlanta dive bar that we\u2019d start a band,\u201d says Polites.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plucked\u00a0John Spiegel<\/b>\u00a0from the top of the drummer tree of Athens and a few renditions of keyboardists later, we found\u00a0Kiran Fernandes<\/b>\u00a0who made everything really gel, and brought with him clarinets, congas, saxophone, flutes, and other lively instruments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four piece is currently recording a followup album and performing a few of their first out of Georgia dates since the pandemic. Asked how they generally prepare for shows such as their upcoming visit to\u00a0Respectable Street<\/b>\u00a0in West Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe usually sketch out a few improvisational elements to give the show a face with a theatrical balance. We surf that alien wave, slap each other in the face and threaten violence if we don\u2019t obey the laws of the set which have yet to be written. Then I smile at the sound person.. all the while casting spells upon them to ensure the sparkliest sound. I rush again to the bathroom for the second time. I uncomfortably remove my casual attire in the darkest landscapes of piss room and replace my skin with black and white morphing faces.. fluff my hair and waltz out as if it never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that is the recipe for an Immaterial Possession.<\/p>\n

Immaterial Possession play Bumblefest Friday, Sept 2 at Respectable Street in West Palm Beach.\u00a0<\/b>immaterialpossession.bandcamp.com<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0~ David Rolland<\/b>
