Band Website: myspace.com/thetransfers
Band Members: clay: voice, drums, bass, guitar, percussion & fender rhodes. My sister shannon sings on smile and up all night....and larry(the sound)...plays bass on smile and he also sings on up all night. and at the end of that song, you'll hear copper coin...the best dog that i've ever known...may his soul rest in peace. exposed was composed in one of those flows that just comes and then goes.... anyway...larry b.(the sound) hits the controls and levels and also plays bass...my sister sings....WRAPPED UP PACKAGE...this song is a semi rap. i started the song with a simple drum beat and then added some extra brush work and vocal percussion. then i multi tracked a couple of bass lines. ohh, and the sweet lovely sound of the mini-Moog....thanks to Larry Bennett for letting me mess with it for a little bit. next i put down my almost inaudible rap track ... exemplifying the fact that am definitely a white man...but with an African-American soul and afro.:) At the end of the song my GLONGA voice came out slightly... so i needed to add some crazy aggressive drum beats and random percussion. if you listen real close you can hear an acoustic guitar behind the electric with the strange wah effects. this song was composed and recorded in about an hour and a half. the words on the other hand were written on a parkbench after the homegrown roots after party at the nog on 4/20 BABY!!!
Influences: i have many muses and i'm also easily amused.
Sounds Like: the joy and sorrow of living every day...

Written around the same time

SONG OF REMORSE Your loathing and your laughter Seems like hype and is hypocritically hip Your mate that turns into your master May drive you to tears or to bite your own lip   Taste the ...

War cry for peace?

Miscalculated murmurs mirror muted mutations While war cries for peace perpetuate angry impatience   Unsound were the grounds for your unilateral assault So thinking you're never wrong will be...

Once upon a morning

I was only investing an expression of pure intensity Exemplifying a mystifying momentary lapse of identity A slave to the morning detailed with viscous sensitivity Detached from the world that hold...
