Restiform Bodies are David Bryant-vocalist and song writer, Matt Valerio-
percussionist and beat-maker & George Chadwick-synth, sample and effects slayer.
In 2000 they made a tape called "Oubliette," and caught the attention of
Oakland's then young experimental hip hop collective, anticon. Once in Oakland
RB began what they refer to affectionately as an adventure in "total career
ambivalence".Repeatedly dodging the bullet of a follow up to their S/T release
on anticon's deceased in-house distributor and label imprint, 6 months
distribution, the three focused instead on developing songs for performance with
live electronics, resulting in a metric ton of songs and zero grams of vinyl.
The joke is that the three can seldom be found in the same room, even though
they lived together for all intents and purposes throughout high school, which
may ironically be the puzzle buster of their story. Since 2000 Restiform Bodies
have toured in support of their self titled LP (an organized version of the
bedroom cassette) and their various individual projects. They have each recorded
at the very least one solo release, and at last their debut record for anticon,
TV LOVES YOU BACK, which may or may not pay off the computer.
