I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me

About Me


Hi.
As you may see, we’ve done a little housekeeping - we took a short break from playing live and took down some songs that have been up for a good long while, and replaced them with a few rarely played B-side kinda songs - because, I don’t know, fuck it...
We just starting tracking for our full length album, which will be due out towards the end of summer, but we’ll see you before then.
I think for now we’re going to forgo the usual band description, and just use some free association to introduce ourselves (feel free to leave comments to add more):
Kurt Vonnegut Jr, Radiolab, synchronized cerebellums, ice pick lobotomies, telecasters, Gabriel Berezin, tape echoes, Wilco, Miles Davis, blind faith, chaos and disorder in lower Manhattan, 2001, Mike Cook, illusions, paper illusions, Neil Young, being born, being dead (oxymoronic), faith, skepticism, Eliott Smith, Kevin Plessner, Carin Gorrell, Lily Berezin, Smyer, Brian Young, Larune, Children of Men, Chris Farley, School of Language, Sam Mejias, Gordon Hartin, Doc Emmit Brown, Bjork, John Lennon, cognitive dissonance, Tourette’s Syndrome, Science Faction, lucid dreaming, dissociation, time, quantum mechanics, James Preston, Honky Tonky Happy Hour, synesthesia, Amal Bouhabib, seeing with your eyes, not your brain, Suzan Hurtuk, Poozy, Craig Foisy, shame, day jobs, Jeph Duarte, Matt Whyte, Serena Jean, Christopher Leo, Kamara, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Billy Pilgrim, Duane Hoover, religious thinking, MEMORY...
