Brooklyn quartet My Son The Doctor tap into themes of insecurity on “Barry Bonds,” drawing us into their world of sharp indie rock.
Delving into the desire to be someone bigger than you are, the poignant production breaks down thoughts of muscle, masculinity, and fame within an explosive instrumentation. The track is elevated by simple yet impactful visuals, shot on a DV camera capturing footage of the Best Western near St. Lawrence University.
Speaking of the process, they say, “We found it hilarious, but fate would have it that we couldn’t get our hands on the half dozen necessary cables to transfer DV tape to Macbook for editing. Queue the public domain footage. We downloaded four hours of film from Prelinger Archives, serendipitously located in San Francisco (home turf of the eponym himself). Fortuitous still was the fact that we had a four-hour drive to a show in Binghamton, which guitarist Joel diligently spent editing this.”
Having built a reputation for their potent blend of 90s slacker rock and post-punk, My Son The Doctor weaves introspection and catharsis into a danceable soundscape that leaves us wanting more.
