Hearing Things Record Release Show

About this event

Hearing Things make their Kingston debut while celebrating the vinyl release of their long-awaited second album, Hearing Things II: Attack of the Xenophobes. Led by Kingston-resident saxophonist Matt Bauder, they have been favorites at Brooklyn’s Barbès since 2015, and now, for the first time, the Hudson Valley will have a chance to witness them in person. Their music conjures a twilight world of surf riffs, soul grooves, and sideways jazz, at times inspiring deep listening but often instigating a spontaneous dance party. The trio features JP Schlegelmilch on a modified transistor organ and Vinnie Sperrazza, a bona fide historian of the drums. Whether opening for Nick Waterhouse or Will Butler (Arcade Fire, Stereophonic) on tour or performing at festivals like Rhoneymeade or True/False Film Fest, they have a way of seducing audiences onto their mythical planet.
