White Flight

“Timeshaker” by White Flight, remix by 1,000,000,000 Light Years (Range Life Records):

Did you see Jesus in downtown Lawrence when the Jayhawks won the championship? That was Justin Roelofs, whose white robe and divining rod may very well have put the Hawks over the top. Roelofs — aka White Flight — recently rolled back into town after a two-year journey wandering the Eastern Hemisphere. Perhaps it was an oracle that summoned him back to the stage; whatever the case, tonight’s first-ever White Flight show has been a long time coming. It’s difficult to imagine Roelofs re-creating the cut-and-paste collages that enliven his animated 2006 debut album of beat-driven experimental pop, but it’s a safe bet that Saturday’s show will be divinely inspired.
