I may still be riding out my Outside Lands buzz from last weekend, but that UPSAHL set was truly magical, especially for being to be basically hit over the head with a bit of dirty rock n roll ferocity before my coffee even kicked in. UPSAHL debuted the A-Side to this single, “0 to 100,” a lovely, emotive ballad this weekend. It’s a solid song, but I flipped over the virtual single (ok, I mimed flipping over the invisible 7″. Shut up, let me have my fun.) and found the more emotionally complex “FBL.” On some level, it’s a party starter. On other levels, it’s a complex look at partying and reality and how those worlds coincide, and it’s one phenomenal track by a young talent that’s gonna keep blowing our minds, I suspect.
Both “0 or 100” and “FBL” are part of The PHX Tapes Vol 3, a continuing series of singles from UPSAHL. Vol. 1 and 2 are also out in the world and ready for your listening pleasure.
