Guitars and synthesizers become doppelgangers in 60 Watt Kid’s hands. The trio of Kevin Litrow, Derek Thomas, and Dylan Woods has been re-rooting itself in the Los Angeles local scene over the last six months, fitting punk bills and indie shows with alien-affected, psychedelic sound rock. The music incorporates noise – but not amp-feedback aneurysms – and structures that follow the lines of ambient music – but not the sleep-inducing kind. 60 Watt Kid is just about ready to release a new full-length album on Absolutely Kosher Records called We Come From The Bright Side, which concerns “jacking into the ethos” with soundscaping devices. We spoke to multi-instrumentalist Derek Thomas about looping and experimental music, and how sometimes raw turkeys can become part of a performance.
