about

Recorded over a couple days in the fall of 2005. This album was intended to capture the energy that Z and C had been exploring through live improvisations.

The duo got weird usually. Broke stuff in reckless abandon usually. Explored the overwhelming nature of emotional infinity usually.

Shirking both the musical and social status quo, they presented often during a short and expressive period.

Dragging an upright piano and drums out behind a building next to the train tracks and spreading the word of a free, free-improv show to which people actually showed up. Concepts and stunts were common place for the duo. For a while people shared Chant Ohs' desire for raw, messy, chaotic experiences. This album is what happened when they were let loose in the studio with J. R. Thompson, who provided both the necessary technical support as well as the encouragement to musical destruction.

Several songs from this album have been used in surf videos such as Temporal Collections: Sometime Between Somewhere and Something Else (multi-porpoise LLC 2021) and BS! (Volcom 2014)

I really appreciate an artist that can disappear completely from my mind, only to be remembered and still instill the same amount of mystery and wonder it gave me the first time i listened to it. thank you unusualstringer
