Bad Astrology, the first album by The New Existentialists to be released on vinyl, is an exploration of our times, songwriting focused on themes of internet decay, environmental disaster, alienation, cultural evolution, mysticism, existentialism, romance, across some good riffs and memorable tunes. This definitive twelve-song collection, lovingly arranged and produced over a three-year period, shows where and how a rock vision spawned in the 1970's can find itself today, with excursions into freakbeat, doom metal, and softcore that'll take you all the way out to the psych pop edge of tomorrow. Tracks include Last Days of the Internet and INVOCATION and the first recording of Conflict w/t Authorities, a song George wrote in 1979 for The Spies. The album includes guest appearances from fellow underground legends Cosmo Potts, Brother Love, and Duane Zarakov.
