The errant brainchild of CARLA BOZULICH (GERALDINE FIBBERS, ETHYL MEATPLOW) and NELS CLINE (NELS CLINE TRIO, GERALDINE FIBBERS, countless collaborations), draws on an array of styles, instruments and methodologies to express itself. Carla still plays guitar and works her mighty pipes, but also adds bass and sampler, while Nels, predictably, concentrates on guitars, many effects, and tons of toys. Recorded in a six-day session last June during a West Coast road trip with most of the songs contained composed along the way. This debut is a Magna Carta of sublime sonic intricacies, like a Lorca-era Tim Buckely covered by the Throwing Muses circa ‘86. Largely-improvised soundscapes sailed upon bright and heavy melodies mixed with intimate ballads, and extended moments of musical mayhem. Immerse yourself in the treacherous creature we cavalierly call the future.
