“Art Imitates Life, the new album by Pittsburgh’s Hepcat Dilemma, includes a track titled “The Hepcat Motto.” Its sole lyric warns, “If you’re not careful/ in five years/ you will only/ listen to music like this.”
The stop-start groove of the song turns at one point into a quasi-classic rock guitar solo, but just as quickly shifts back to an odd time signature riff. If the band is referring to their sound as “music like this,” maybe it’s not a bad thing. “
