Yesod by The Beepsters

Recorded in Bandon, Oregon between July and September 2013

"In which the Beep makes it humble beginning, as The Body Politic Absolute (*cringe*). A stoney, quasi-acoustic experimental duo formed by two goofballs from Bandon. Fresh outta high school and fueled on a giant sack of pot Johann brought back from a brief stint of trimming. A collection of lo-fi pastiche ideas and acoustic explorations of the absurd. Recorded partly in my parents garage (washing machine backing the drums on my Stereolab send-up “Tandy Division") and in the house of my then recently-deceased step-great-grandmother, where I had lived for a time after high school. These sessions being a sometimes-deliberate culmination of our hangouts in late-summer/fall 2013, getting high as monkeys and hitting “record” and just going with whatever stuck. Some cuts, like “Oh Welcome Home” and “ Lilac Vegetal” were recorded with arrangements in mind. Most of the cuts though, like “Seven Fingers” “Zolar Plexus” “Meercat” and “Patch” were born from excerpts of longer improvisations to which I would add some vocals/lyrics or an overdub or two. This practice of recording and composing is something I would carry over into the next few projects. It’s decidedly “avant-garde” nature was met with lukewarm reception from friends and peers."
- Austin, some years later
