No working title yet, and no projected release date, but we'll let you know as soon as we know. ===================================================== ===================================================== Restiform Bodies are a comatose electric psych ghetto tech, r&b trio who all grew up together in the ice and rock of central New Hampshire. After receiving some attention for the bedroom generated recording "oubliette," assembled and sold by hand for $5, Dave, Matt and George left for Oakland to contribute their sound to the anticon massive. It was here the three began to experiment, while also evolving individually as beat makers, knob twiddlers, rappers and singer. David, (passage) the final vocal tentacle of the anticon collective, is the primary Restiform member responsible for the group's rap-sing volley. He has appeared on two anticon releases and his solo LP "the forcefield kids" is available now on anticon. . The chemically enthused tel.jim.jesus (George), compulsively subjugates his gadgetry to render the token restiform car crash sine squall, while the bomarr monk (matt) challenges and amplifies with often masterful tra-ditional hip hop drum programming, underlined by his electro-death stomp alter ego and live analog drum brain accompaniment.Restiform Bodies have toured the country with sole and broken spindles, and have shared the stage with themselves, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Animal Collective, The Unicorns, Hrvatski, Barry Andrews (Shriekback), Kid606, Stars As Eyes, Metal Urbain, Andrew Broder, Evolution Control Committe, Sagan, Grand Buffet, Cex, and Gold Chains. They have recently also done a remix for Smyglssnya on Vertical Form. the bomarr monk and tel.jim.jesus have both individually provided production for sole.
