🎯 TODAY’S VIRTUAL 45: The United States of America – “Hard Coming Love” / “Osamu’s Birthday”



🎵 SIDE A – Hard Coming Love
A fuzz bass heartbeat, a fluttering electric harpsichord, and Dorothy Moskowitz crooning like Nico if she fronted Silver Apples.
It’s romantic, jagged, and somehow melancholy even when it’s surging forward.


🎵 SIDE B – Osamu’s Birthday
An instrumental trip down a carnival midway wired to a military computer.
You can almost see the counterculture falling apart in real time—like the balloons are popping themselves.


💫 Recorded in 1968
📀 Reissued to remind you how visionary it was
📻 Filed under: Avant-Pop, Psychedelic Manifestos, Library Music for Utopias
