Brooklyn’s own My Son The Doctor takes us on a journey through insecurity with their track “Barry Bonds.” This sharp indie rock piece explores the longing to be more than one’s current self. It’s an intense mix of muscle, masculinity, and fame, wrapped in explosive sounds. The visuals? Shot with a DV camera at a Best Western near St. Lawrence University—simple yet striking.
The band shares a bit of their creative process: “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.” They cleverly downloaded four hours of film from San Francisco’s Prelinger Archives. Talk about serendipity! Guitarist Joel then edited during a four-hour drive to a show in Binghamton. Multitasking at its finest.
Known for their potent mix of 90s slacker rock and post-punk vibes, My Son The Doctor crafts introspective yet cathartic tunes. Their music? Danceable and always leaving you craving more.
