I’m caught in a Pitchforkian nightmare of indie band inbox inertia this week. In the mean time, while I get my retro-psych-rock reviewing chops honed to the standard you expect, let’s wave our glowsticks like wands of dream-energy and get loved up to Belgian indie electro-popster Styrofoam, aka Arne van Petegem. “Kids on Acid” is the freebie B-side to his forthcoming “Get Smarter” EP, out Aug. 24, a banging stadium raver effortlessly propelled by the thumping drums of Paul Cook. Yup, that Paul Cook. It’s a bit bigger than the glitchy maestro’s past collaborations with the Morr Music crew, Lali Puna, the Notwist and Ben Gibbard.
