Best Album to Hear Live
Everything Happens
Gestalt
Listening to Everything Happens by Gestalt almost feels wrong if you’re not hearing it live at venues like Globe Hall or the hi-dive, drink in hand or banging your head in a mosh pit. Yes, the album is full of addicting melodies and hooks that you can play in the car or in your headphones at work, but that just makes you want to hear them live all the more. You can feel the camaraderie of the band radiating through the album as all of the elements come together to create what feels like a house show on vinyl; you can’t listen without wanting to sing along, dance around, jump on stage and crowd-surf. It’s like the joy and community of Denver’s music scene all wrapped up in one album.
