NARCISSISSY by Narcississy

warning: this material contains graphic, sexually explicit language (& a banjo). May create inexplicable urge to return to 90’s era, queer, underground San Fransisco. Listen at your own risk. This is not music for children. Extended play may cause Banjo-sic shock syndrome.



Imagine our surprise when this mixed tape (half erased, but here presented in part) showed up among the high 8, and super 8 movies on store up in the tip top of the closet....

Oh the cognitive dissonance /innocence of 1990’s era. Oh queer romance!

Here some of the songs created by Rodney and Charlie during their brief, tumultuous several months together in 1995/6.

Let’s deconstruct expectations like we toddlers then, gleefully smashing building blocks. Let’s explore desire and disappointment while bopping along to punkish banjo styling that would make even the most stoic operational thinker tap their foot. Ah the cyclical nature of all those fleeting connections - who could keep track? Not us. We hope our harmonies will keep you joyous and smiling while teetering around this little offering ... Is it rational? grandiose? absurd? you tell us.

Object permanence has never felt so casual or contradictory & yet… we are oddly relating afresh perhaps you will too.

Here some 1990's echoing into your post apocalyptic dystopian moment. Listen up!

When Dealing with a Narcississy:

interacting with Narcississy requires setting boundaries and not taking our ego trip too seriously. Here are some tips:
• Don’t React: Keep your cool when faced with our grandiose claims. (we are the greatest undiscovered, banjo based, post punk harmony act of the mid 1990s)
• Set Boundaries: Know when to walk away from our self-absorbed performances and over written song descriptions.
*. Relate to lyrics and narratives spun here, but please don’t take them personally or too seriously. All this was recorded before PC was a thing so, leave us be.
• Enjoy the Show: Appreciate our theatricality, but don’t get too caught up in our drama.
Share your new, secret obsession with all your friends - trust us, they wanna know about us narcississy .

Narcississy Is 30 year old band project of Rodney Golberg and Charles Herman-Wurmfeld...lost in time but here partially recovered, for your listening enjoyment. These songs were recorded by Mark Yee. Only half the mixed tape exists (presented here) we lost the other half. If you have one, with side 2, let us know!
