Release Notes:
Our heroes met at University, where they were bitter
rivals. Years later, they found themselves in New
York City, beavering away in dusty corners of the
Great Media Behemoth: J put in time at a literary
agency and studied the mystical art of making
records while slaving as a sound engineer at various
hip recording studios about town, while A avoided
sunlight as a film archivist and curator at a
broadcasting museum. Both had unsatisfying tenures
in doomed rock combos where they nevertheless honed
their musical skills. Each fancied himself a
songwriter in the classic pop mode and pursued the
elusive art with uncommon zeal, resting only for
massive infusions of film noir and comic books. It
was inevitable that they join forces and continue in
the tradition of their idols Ray Davies, Elvis
Costello, and Brian Wilson, i.e., churning out
gem-like compositions with maddeningly infectious
tunes and obscure lyrics while failing to deal with
their crippling emotional problems. Watch this space
for further instructions, people of Earth, and have
a nice day.
