OK, back to business. We head to Massachusetts, where Intac International, Inc.—self-proclaimed world’s first independent music corporation—tries to tempt us into Sound Investment. The twelve  songs on God Is Time, Time Is Money, and the Money’s Long Gone form a crooked, poetic map of modern disillusionment, where heartbreak, absurdity, and late-capitalist burnout collide with humor and ramshackle DIY charm. Across surreal vignettes of deadbeat dads, doomed romances, and talking dogs, the album skewers the grind of trying to stay sincere in a world that feels like a running joke.

While it may be irony set on a lo-fi foundation of acoustic guitars and functional rhythms, the emotional core is startlingly earnest. Beneath the wit and weirdness lies a quietly devastating truth: being human these days means hustling for hope while knowing that finances have dried up. Anti-folk packaged as corporate pop isn’t something you hear very often, but this kind of music has value, especially in a world obsessed with profit.

God is Time, Time is Money, and the Money’s Long Gone is out digitally (self-released). Featuring Bill Restivo, Lucas Restivo, Josh Rosenberg, Peter Debarros, Jake DeRosa, and Nick Morrone.
