About Me

DISCOGRAPHY
FLYING HEARSE
Sort Of 018
The hallmark improvisations of the band's live show kept intact through this minimally filtered documentation of the recording process.
Available at Newbury Comics now.
MAGNUM PUCE
Sort Of 011
Improvised first-take sound experiments with newly explored instrumentation. Cut up, re-arranged, looped and reconstructed. The illusion of intent.
FAUVES/PTS
White Lodge WL001
Improvised music. Split cassette. Available at shows.
PROGRESS TOWARD RANKS
Sort Of 004
Early trials with dissonance, melody, and harmony. Turning song structures from 90's indie-rock, on their head.
Side A: LUCIUS! BOON!
Side B: BATTLE OF THE BLOOD SUGAR BOYS
PTS-7001
The first recording is a dissonant song about a horse, side B is a mathematic construct of an epic battle. Their first self-mixed offering limited to 200 copies.
