Why this name?
In 1917, "Richard Mutt" entered a man's urinal as a sculpture in an exhibition organized by the New York Society of Independent Artists.
Though he never confessed this, most probably "R.Mutt" was Marcel Duchamp. Submitting an ordinary piece of everyday-life to an art exhibition, he thus suggested a new understanding and concept of art. Its specific feature lies not in the work itself, but in the idea behind it. Emphasis is placed upon the artist not as craftsman, but as gifted perceiver whose choice of an object is seen as a creative act. The readymade thus becomes the focus of a meditation on the relation between external things and our perception of them.
Your influences?
Influences on the songs on Heptane include early Wilco, Son Volt and Bottle Rockets. You may also hear some Skynard/Black Crowes mixed in with hints of the Beatles and Pink Floyd. alt.country and Americana flavors done with a bit of an older pop garage band sound.
