Ugly Extacy

About Me

Ugly Extacy is like a gulp of moonshine, it burns, it's beautiful, it fucks you in the morning. Since around 2004 or earlier my intentions to build upon the foundations of post-punk, left-field electronica, and raw songwriting, loose in it's imaginative droolings, began to develop into a cohesive vision. The very phrase 'Ugly Extacy' sums up much of my perception of life; beauty enmeshed with the crude, the disturbing.
