A blatant attempt at exploiting the deep well of The Jesus and Mary Chain/Pixies/Raveonettes/House of Love. A lovingly loud, shiny and guitar-laden paean to those great bands.

Among the special guests are Horkmeijer Springtail and his lovely choir of snow fleas providing backing vocals, the very doomed John LaSala on lead vocals, and the great King Bandit and his mommy, Kate providing additional vocals. The very doomed…

didgeridoo, synthesizer, drum programming, bamboo flutes.

I recorded four minutes of bird life in a bamboo patch during my last day in the Amazon. I arranged the string section with single note samples of cellos performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra.

This piece is just a very sad story.

A simple piano piece we were finally able to record exactly the way we wanted it to sound. (This is one of our personal favorites.)
