Funhouse krautpunk scum scraped off the consciousness of six musicians and recorded on a little avenue in East Oakland, Dark on Harmon is the latest from shapeshifting Oakland group Non Plus Temps. Featuring members across a bunch of East Bay bands (Naked Roommate, the World, Famous Mammals, and Preening), Non Plus Temps concocts its alien sounds within limited but intuitive confines, committing to tape a moderately neurotic shuffle that sounds almost too tame for a completely psychotic world.
The band is donating a portion of proceeds from this release to Street Spirit, the East Bay newspaper that recently lost its funding after nearly three decades chronicling homelessness and providing an income source to the people who sold its print copies.
