The Cemetery Improvement Society

just so you know, I don't know what I'm doing

About Me

"you are lucky" demo, including 8 super hot tracks, free! Just ask for one! After years of experience working in musical projects such as Middleworld, Operate In Unison, White Party Dresses and more, this new project is an attempt and an exclamation of expression. "The Cemetery Improvement Society" delves into experimental territory with the continued dream to project and give one's thoughts to a big, beautiful, strange place. T.C.I.S. is very open to collaboration and has various guests contributing to the music. If you're interested in being a part of it, please contact here or at [email protected] Please also visit this new group project The Projection People
Thank you!

Sounds Like:

"Watching Marc Claggett perform live as The Cemetery Improvement Society hints at what it must be like to watch him craft the project's screwy grooves at home: He thrashes along to a sampler full of beats and disembodied voices, stepping back to lay down some depressive post-rock guitar and slam beers."-The Onion (A.V. club)

"This morning I had to shovel dead junkies out of my stairwell. Your tracks are, like, WAY better!"-GlassGhosts

"The Cemetery Improvement Society has just released "you are lucky", a fascinating demo cd of eight instrumental tracks that drone and fidget over eerie rhythms."-The Onion

"Sonically awesome with shocking intricacy"-The Bleeder Project

"Lots of crunchy samples and hypnotic rhythms"-Dane 101

"Rhythms that constantly interrupt themselves and give way to creepy pits of noise and barely audible voices"-The Onion (A.V. club)

"Almost a cross between Aphex Twin and The Crystal Method, with a dash of Chemical Brothers"-A nice man named Louis

"Expieramental explains that perfectly. Not however, get on the dance floor type shit."-Club booker (actual spelling included)

"A cerebral pastiche of blips and bleeps"-The High Noon Saloon

"Reminds me of black roses, graveyards, fog, black dresses, black eye makeup, and clowns. Oh and those music boxes with the little pop out guy when you wind it up"-Crystal
Record Label: are those the things you stick on cds?
Type of Label: None
