Something Like Sound

Eric Peterson has managed to combine the things that artsy types love into one object: A 7″ vinyl record about Polaroid photos. Well, the latter item may only be an allegory for the fading nature of memory, I doubt he’s actually singing about light and chemicals being mixed into instant photographs.

Roger, Roll, the storied side-project from Peterson, has seen several forms and has always been somewhat of an amorphous musical outlet. For the Polaroid In Reverse 7″ Peterson recorded, played, and sang every part; for the live Roger, Roll, he has drafted the likes of Corey Teruya (Hello Kavita), Jeremiah Jones and Chris Durant (Sun Red), Emily Hall and Allison Sheldon (Dream Wagon), and Adrienne Short.

Pick up one of the super-limited copies of Polaroid In Reverse this Friday at the Hi-Dive. It’s an 18+, $6 show with openers Hello Kavita and the Lumineers (see the poster at the top of this post).
