Transition…critical link with no definition. In short, very long shows, hundreds of one-of-a-kind free cassettes (lost again to the archeology of thrift store bins), music for the masses, long-form punk minimalism, and progressive economics. Obscurely cloistered and cherished invisibility. Devotional music dedicated to the non-god wonderism as a means of being consumed by the cosmos. Today, after three decades, we sound much like we sounded on the first note. 

The band formed on Father’s Day 1997. The music is incidental, interstitial and intestinal, embracing a mixtape ethos and pathos. The catalog of recorded music is a thorough exemplification of a broken sound and broken music for a broken time. The fidelity extends from the long, round sounds of magnetic tape to the crisp digital sharpness of glitching audio, manipulated, transformed, and arranged to create  prismatic landscapes with glimmers of melody, rhythm, and form.

Music is an organized sound. The listener does not make the distinction; the musicians make it. A listener can decide whether they want to listen or not, but at no point should any sound be dismissed without hearing.

Law of accelerated returns, cognivity and thumb and numb. As a sense organ processing just shy of the speed of light, the brain is deciphering an echo of an event that has already passed. 1+1=3. Instructional Manual for Punk in the Sunset of the Anthropocene. Navigating the no less rife landscape of compromises and contradictions. Disruption as discovery. We acknowledge the need to be put off our path. The gentle melting away of binary thinking. Working towards a more palimpsest consciousness. 

“The life of religion religion of life consists of the belief that there is an unseen [dis]order, and that our supreme good lies in harmoniously adjusting ourselves thereto.” — William James therefore

Ours was an inverse Dunning-Kruger effect in which we knowingly decreased our competence as a means by which to understate our abilities. There has been no refinement of craft, pursuit of excellence, or acquiring expertise. We went full circle. We are precisely where we started.  Therefore’s greatest accomplishment has been putting in tens of thousands of hours to sound the same as we did in the first hour, which is the most radical thing we can think of.

We are still playing the same song to the same audience of two. We hope you will join us in listening, but the making was enough.
