about

Pete:
Recorded the same day as our quartet recordings with Gerritt “MLK day” which came out on JYRK and Root Strata later. This one theoretically happened BEFORE Gerritt showed up, but it sounds like the heaviest fog hanging over the latest night, and was likely just recorded in our old Huffin House vent room early in the day, sun blasting in and the three or four of us talking about the impending end of the world, Peak Oil, the collapse of capitalism.

It’s nice to listen back to these recordings and hear the beauty of Karl’s music coming through the YS murk. There’s a lot of interplay here that doesn’t work, and that’s one of the things I most appreciate about this era of music. We were intensely collaborative, played with all sorts of acts and musicians around this time and the casual attitude of playing, recording, releasing these things is a thing I miss.

Their music is restless, ragged, and forever in flux, untethered and unresolved. ... more
