█ (grave057) And the Tears Washed Me, Wave After Cowardly Wave - Animated █
█ PIcture Disc / CD / Digital - FEB 28th, 2012 █
█ █
█ ôAnd the Tears Washed Me, Wave After Cowardly Waveö is Part 2 to ôSo I █
█ Ate Myself, Bite By Bite,ö which came out in August of 2010. Part 1 is █
█ the true story of a normal manÆs unraveling psyche and his grisly █
█ misdeeds. Years ago, I bought one of the real life serial killerÆs █
█ journals at an auction in the woods. I was so moved by his seeming █
█ mediocrity, that I had to write about him. Part 1 covers a fairly large █
█ span of time in his life - childhood to his thirties. Part 2 takes place █
█ after his initial taste for blood and accurately ends with his death. █
█ █
█ A million things have changed in my life since I recorded Part 1: IÆve █
█ changed cities, lost a ton of stock in a flood, am involved in a lawsuit █
█ with my former distro, opened a record store and lost someone incredibly █
█ close to me. In the move from Chicago to Savannah, the moving company I █
█ hired to haul my things not only charged me several thousand dollars █
█ more than my quote, but when the stuff finally arrived (3 weeks later █
█ than promised) a great deal of it was destroyed. My cello neck was █
█ snapped in half, my banjo was butchered, my expensive bell set was █
█ somehow obliterated, my organÆs insides were ripped to shreds, my main █
█ vocal mic was broken, not to mention all the damage they did to my █
█ non-musical possessions. █
█ I was scheduled to record Part 2 in December, but I was unsure how to █
█ proceed. Since the main instrumentation was in shambles, I was forced to █
█ change my outlook on the album-making process. I recorded only using █
█ things mangled in the move. I felt that would parallel the storyline █
█ quite nicely. The result is a great deal of out of tune, broken and raw █
█ emotional sounds. You can hear these instruments dying with each note. █
█ Most of the percussion on the record is done by me bashing my anxiety █
█ pill bottles onto the floor or table. Oftentimes they are not even in █
█ beat. For the three weeks I recorded this album, I was at an all time █
█ low. This is some real downer music, but looking back, it was quite fun █
█ to make. █
█ Like Part 1, the LP version of ôAnd the Tears Washed Over Me, Wave After █
█ Cowardly Waveö is presented like a phenakistoscope, a classic Victorian █
█ animation machine. If you thought picture discs and colored vinyl were █
█ cool (both mediums you Graveface aficionados will know a lot about), █
█ wait until you get a load of William Schaff's painstaking, brilliantly █
█ delivered design. It's truly a remarkable accomplishment in the annals █
█ of the Album as Artform, which is a hallmark of Graveface Records. █
