Fall on the Horizon and...


Summer is nearing an end, and its last "hoorah" is due to make an appearance this weekend, as my parents are leaving town. Obviously, some Disco activity is bound to occur. Perhaps it will be the first installment in my new series of recordings entitled My Father's Many Patents. I came up with the concept today while ripping Tim Buckley's Lorca from vinyl. On the wall downstairs are 21 of my father's patents, and each one has a name that's hard to get out of your mouth in a single breath. The project will be released in however many volumes I find necessary to get the point across. It will most likely feature albums, eps, and perhaps even a single or to. The point is to explore the more varied possibilities I might otherwise ignore in sound and music.

In addition, to Patents I have also been working on a new full-length that is meant to be a more in-depth exploitation of the Hot Pink Happiness sound. This record will surely be the greatest thing I have done once it is completed. I have no doubt about that.

Hosts still have a bunch of material waiting to find its way onto a full-length at some point, as well as a new concept inspired somewhat by the Western Disco session, which would have The Toad Disco and The Western Click! releasing albums of the same length simultaneously, as well as a Hosts album of both projects played together at once. John and I each have one instrument we are focusing on for the piece.

And finally, Half-Pair of Trios got together the other day and recorded some new improvised material in John's basement. As of this moment, we aren't 100% sure of what will be done with it, but I will definitely let you know as soon as that news breaks.
