I can’t even begin to fully scratch the surface of The Intelligence. In their latest release Everybody’s Got It Easy But Me, listeners get a feel for how the album will sound, garage mixed with revival punk and 60’s psychedelic rock. The guitar strums last for days, tripping out every listener as the Casio piano enters stage left with its mellowed transitions into a lazy Sunday afternoon. Lars Finberg is a great musician, and is less than simple with his instruments, but his quirky perspectives brings back the lost art of trippy garage punk rock and feels like you’re listening to a throwback album circa 1986. The band can help you find peace in your week while getting down to their unique musicianship at least for a good 40 minutes. They’re a loud, backyard concert that never ends, and you kind of don’t want it to. - Kayla Hay

Seattle/Los Angeles-based lo-fi garage band The Intelligence, who have certainly been around for a while (over a decade, that is), yet are still restlessly putting out records at the solid pace of an album a year since 2004 (along with a parade of EPs, singles and splits), recently released the video for their latest track 'Hippy Provider'. Taken off the band's latest full-length 'Everybody's Got It Easy But Me', the single's a short, cherpy ode to doing whatever the heck you may thingk is right, built upon a bed of delicate dissonances and swarming synth sounds. Currently on tour, sharing the stage with King Tuff in New Orleans this evening, the band will be back your way on November 8th, playing at San Diego's The Griffin. Meanwhile, check out the video below.
