And because this is Austin in 2009&amp;mdash;and you apparently can't find a practice space where the tap water&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;isn't&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;spiked with LSD&amp;mdash;there's plenty of splashes of modern psychedelia in&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Fever&lt;/em&gt;'s art-pop, whether it's the Animal Collective harmonies on &quot;Elevators&quot; or the double-time dub that breaks out in the middle of &quot;Runner.&quot; The band celebrates the record's release here alongside the moody, jaunty funeral marches of Corto Maltese. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
