Release Notes:
The songs here are built from bits of pop architecture nailed together in odd
forms; structurally sound but at the same time defying the conventional laws of
(pop) physics. There are twisty-turny time signatures, swaddled in chunky guitar
fuzz, sweet strings, harmonized "ooo"s and direct lyrical love notes sometimes
riding percussive trails all the way up great crescendos to pinnacles of
bang-crash. These songs intend to celebrate and encourage everyone's wrestling
match with their demons, whatever they may be. For fans of Lightning Bolt, Nick
Drake, Ornette Coleman, self-help books.
