Longstanding Austin, TX, space-rock band ST 37 today premiere a video for the hypnotic title track to their new album, Over and Over and Over Again, shortly after its release in November. The clip shows the bandmembers in their COVID-restricted natural habitat, ingesting various substances — which, we imagine, help fuel the band’s brand of twisted psychedelic rock.

Their sound isn’t necessarily as surf-oriented as another sci-fi-themed group of indie-rock vets from the South — Auburn, AL’s Man … or Astroman? — but a statement issued in conjunction with ST 37’s clip shares a similarly wry tone also used by that other futuristic band.

“All the while working extemporaneously on the material that will (fairly) soon become our forthcoming studio LP, Ballardesque, during the pandemic, ST 37 was presented with the always-challenging imposition of artistic limitations on collaboration; i.e., we didn’t get to play together much at all,” the statement read. “When we were able to arrange the few socially distanced outdoor rehearsals/small shows/idea sessions we could, we found that a sort of fevered creativity had taken hold of us, and we were able to play together even more cohesively and integratively as our long history would indicate we should.

“This resulted in several improvisational pieces of such high quality that we felt compelled to unleash them on an uncaring world,” the statement continued. “Coupled with the brilliant studio performance of [guitarist] Joel Crutcher’s masterful manifesto ‘Over and Over Again,’ originally intended to be a hit 12-inch 45 rpm disco single, we found we had an LP on our hands. Through the largesse and faith of Pariah Child Records out of Belfast, Ireland, a lobe of the magnificent Yoshiwara Collective, responsible for our 2015 magnum opus, I’m Not Good, we found an outlet for this music that we feel is important enough to warrant your further consideration.”

Check out the video for “Over and Over and Over Again”:

ST 37’s new CD/cassette/download was mastered and mixed by Evan Kleinecke and ST 37 at 5th Street Studios in Austin, TX, according to the statement.

“Everything else was foisted upon an unsuspecting public by Joel Crutcher and ST 37 at Pinche Rancho Studios in Cedar Creek, TX, with the sole exception of the title track, which is wholly a creature of Evan and 5th Street,” the band said.

ST 37’s Over and Over and Over Again is available to stream and purchase via Bandcamp. For more on ST 37, visit the band’s website.
