Synopsis

Album Description
"Red Queen Hypothesis offers tender connections and are nostalgic and in the moment."-- Indianapolis Star Red Queen Hypothesis is the flagship band of a large collective of Midwestern weirdos based out of Indianapolis, Winchester, and Richmond, Indiana--a sort of Bermuda Triangle of rural sonic oddity that has expelled cassettes and hand-packaged CD-Rs by such bands as Palimpsest Albedo, The Library, and Sharky Farmers. Red Queen Hypothesis performs a timeless, fuzzy-cute pop that has drawn comparisons to the Polyphonic Spree, The Gerbils, and Jim Henson's Muppets. On their latest disc, an honest-to-goodness CD (no "-R"), the group has summoned its strongest, most concise batch of songs yet. The Red Queen Hypothesis is a study in evolutionary biology describing the dichotomy between two subjects (host/prey) evolving constantly to avoid extinction. Here, science themes (leader Andrew Myers was a geology major at Richmond's Earlham College), obtuse poetry, and drugged storytelling feature prominently on an album that at least one critic is sure to describe as "catchier than a football."
