Electric Drawing Kit

The bulk of this album was created about 2 years ago. It's 140 min worth of material that I think captures what I believe to be my best foot forward musically (so far). It kind of felt like what I would imagine writing a (dense) novel to feel like. I've never experienced being consumed by work like I was with this. Consequently, and I've joked about this but, I'm sure this shaved a couple years off my life. C' est la vie I guess.

No Bueno (the first Lp) started off as a joke where I wrote all this music, created a story line behind it and, essentially saw how much play I could get around town with it. The story is, it's 3 kids from San Paulo who moved to Mpls and started a band. They're noise based and only sing/scream disdain for Trump and the Border wall (nearly all in Portuguese). Super fun to write..

Seawhores (second Lp) has been my main band since I was 16 but, without being as active over the past several years. Mommy and Daddy still love each other but I've taken over the project at this juncture.. That said, I've done some light writing and collaborating with a few people to complete this part of the album but have little desire to use the name anymore as a mechanism to move forward with the music I'm writing.

The Arctic Universe record (third Lp) was an extremely fun body of work to write. The first side is chaotic and noisy but cleverly intentional in its delivery. It's almost industrial at times but ultimately remain sexy start to finish. The B side is a more subdued and subtle body of work. I wrote most of it while on tour in Europe in the van traveling between shows/countries. The material is all found sounds or samples I gathered/created while there as well. I intentionally focused on the whole side being fluid from start to finish so it comes off almost like a well rounded, longer ambient piece..

Rock Is Hell Records, Austria is the label.
