The band changes with every release, but somehow keeps a common thread throughout, and Gaslit is no exception. Both a bold shift in sound, as well as a build off previous releases, the ethos of the record is manic and celebratory. Trans FX is an American music group formed in 2011 by songwriters Chris McDonnell and Scott Young in Olympia, Washington. They have released five albums as of 2018, and continue to operate a revolving door, communal band, based in Olympia. Their sound has often been compared to Lou Reed, Happy Mondays, Brian Eno, Primal Scream, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Consistent in their output, but not in their label, the band continues to make conceptual recordings imitating life as industry, aimed at a better understanding of immediacy in the 21st century.
