So last week Matador gave the world a taste of what they’ve been cooking up with Harlem, releasing an mp3 into the wild from their new album, Hippies. It’s good, but you knew this already. Our question is, exactly what is Harlem trying to say with this title? First there was Free Drugs, which we’re pretty sure just about anyone can get behind. But now their new album is called Hippies? That’s ironic, right? They put the title in quotation marks, so that means they’re not serious, according to our meta dictionary. But supposedly even Free Drugs wasn’t “about drugs drugs” (What?). Between the winking emoticons and quotation marks, Harlem (not from Harlem!) has more misdirection than Snoop’s GPS. Also, another song about Casper. Because that’s what the world needed. “Hippies” hits on April 6, so plenty of time to stock up on patulli. Harlem will also be playing the Mohawk this Thursday, Dec. 17, with Crystal Antlers. Hopefully nobody gets punched.
