This probably won’t help any of you much, but what the hell... we’re super stoked for these two “almost-lost-but-somehow-still-timely” songs to finally get the official (re)release treatment they deserve!
THE STREETS and FEATURELESS HORIZON, were the first two songs we wrote after our previous 23-year self-quarantine. Recorded a couple of years before the PREFABYLON sessions, some of you may recall that they were briefly available via digital streaming only as teasers toward the eventual full-length. We even made videos for them! Both tunes were almost included on PREFABYLON but we decided to save them for a more special occasion... like today, when BandCamp is, again, waiving their usual fees in support of COVID-19 impacted artists and, of course, for our bass player BYRON’s 50th BIRTHDAY! Geez, that’s old!
Side A - THE STREETS (of Skin City). A sweltering anti-anthem written at the dawn of the current Trash Era. Choose your own metaphors. Rated [R] for pitfall themes of superficial obsession and urban decry.
Side B - FEATURELESS HORIZON. An antidote of sorts to side A’s dire bleakitude, this instant “prog post-punk“ classic dares even the most-jaded listener to approach their given unknowns with open heart and mind. Now, please open your wallet. Rated [PG-19] for naked COVID 19-age existential reflection.
Be cool, everyone. And may these songs help you a little somehow.
