Neighborhood Gods Unlimited
Open Mike Eagle
2025
Neighborhood Gods Unlimited began as a concept for a cable network so broke it could only broadcast one hour a week and cramming its whole lineup into that slot. The album captures that texture: surreal ads for miracle drugs and wild barbershop theories from opener “woke up knowing everything” about chemtrails, Freemasons, Gatorade with mercury.
Claustrophobically online, it draws on works like Get Out, Sorry to Bother You, and I’m a Virgo. “The trauma at the center of Neighborhood Gods Unlimited is mine,” Mike says. “I was shattered young and didn’t know it. This is about how people trying to find themselves get confused by reflections of themselves.”
When the TV idea became too heavy to pursue, he turned it into music—a way to process and protect his mental health. The album plays like a season of TV, complete with a theme song, flashbacks, a climax, and even commercials.
