Local singer-songwriter Constantine Hastalis has one of the finest record collections of anyone I know. What’s most admirable about it is its focus: virtually every LP is psychedelic rock, pop, folk, or experimental music from the late 1960s and early ’70s. Many of the releases are obscure, and more recognizable records tend to be imports or rare editions of famous albums. At one point, Hastalis was posting pictures of highlights from his library to Instagram, but he’s since discontinued the practice. Instead, he’s rerouted his love for this era of music into something more creative and fulfilling: his debut full-length LP, Day of Light.
Tonight, Hastalis and O.W.L. play the Burlington; doors open at 9 PM and there’s a suggested $5 donation. Day of Light is unavailable for purchase, but the trip is there for the whole audience. I’ve included my favorite track, “Rania,” with vocals by Jen Williams, below.
