Tucson psych-rock purveyors Mute Swan have been releasing swirling, dreamy jams since 2014, and today the band is releasing their latest with Post-Punk. The hazy “Enough Fun” video follows a ragtag band of American one-percenters cruising in the Mercedes, burning money with a pope-like figure, looking as if it could be the result of the eccentrics of The Garden making a video for Galaxie 500 and leaving the VHS out to melt in the desert sun. Although sonically light and airy, the lyrics allude to frustration with the unchecked power of today's wealthy elite. Explains vocalist Mike Barnett, 'America is having a melt down right now. This song is about that. With fuzz.' It's a taste of the underground DIY oasis blooming in the Sonoran Desert, a longtime source of inspiration and refuge for the art community.
