To the surprise of all, those brilliant bringers of bouncing experimental post-electroskapunkafunkatronica beats, Dash Pow, have announced a brand-new three-part non-musical release. Entitled “Alternate Realities,” the album will be at retail approximately twenty feet from now, and, according to a recent interview with band frontman W.
