I stood in line at the Gas ‘n Go behind a man with a pistol tucked into the elastic waistband of his sweatpants, yelling that the cashier only gave him three Powerball tickets when he should’ve gotten four. I bowed my head and thought about patience and chance. The manager intervened, and everyone narrowly avoided getting shot. Near pump number nine, a woman in the passenger seat of a pickup wiped away some tears. She caught me looking, and I turned away and fiddled with the radio. A chipper advertisement encouraged me to order nutrients harvested from jellyfish.

[Nightcrawler by Kevin Richard Martin](https://kevinrichardmartin.bandcamp.com/album/nightcrawler-3?ref=jamesreeves.co) 

This year Kevin Richard Martin has been racing [Bohren & Der Club of Gore](https://boomkat.com/products/black-earth-31d4d24f-610d-4dae-b42c-5d4358457682?ref=jamesreeves.co) to the bottom of the doom pits with two grainy, low-lit releases: *[Nightcrawler](https://kevinrichardmartin.bandcamp.com/album/nightcrawler-3?ref=jamesreeves.co)* and *[Downtown](https://kevinrichardmartin.bandcamp.com/album/downtown?ref=jamesreeves.co)*. Both albums are steeped in seedy slow-motion drums, subterrestrial bass, and smudges of brass while something sinister whirs in the background. Perfect autumn music. *Downtown* was released today, and it’s [Bandcamp Friday](https://kevinrichardmartin.bandcamp.com/album/downtown?ref=jamesreeves.co).
