Twilight Furniture - For Larry Harmon

it's here

New Livonia Underground Release Coming Soon

Sam (aka Skinnykid) and I got together today and recorded a forty minute improvisation, which is due for release as soon as my multitrack stops being an asshole. Sam left the cover/artist+release names up to me, and here is what I came up with:

Twilight Furniture

For Larry Harmon

Shirt Night

Tonight the boys and I made shirts. I, of course, had to pick the most tedious design, whereas Sean and John made matching moog shirts.

Success!

Last Night Was Awful

Indian Eyes - Noble Savage

Noble Savage is the result of a collaboration between myself, Aaron (Dogs of Guadalajara), and Dylan (A Bao A Qu). We each created one very bare-bones song, and then passed onto the next person until each person had contributed to one of the three original tracks. Here's what to expect: gorgeous chunks of beefy drone interlaced with decibel-shattering noise. If you were to ask me, I would tell you that this is a very masculine album. Whatever the hell that means.

The Toad Disco Update

Ok, so here's what I told Aaron:

so, the next toad disco release will probably be put off for quite some time, though the rest of the summer will most likely be littered with collaborative livonia releases, and there will probably be even more hosts releases when fall comes around. the best i can hope for the new toad disco stuff is that it is completed by the end of the summer. last night i came up with a concept for a completely different album than the one i'm working on now. i cant bring myself to put that idea on the backburner, so i'm going to be working on them at the same time. i don't want to let on at all about the specifics of the new concept, because i would prefer to have minds blown upon the release of it. but then again, it will most likely be released to a collective "whatever".

Livonia Collective Double-Post

The last two days have been a myriad of musical productivity. Today, we celebrate said productivity with the release of two brand new EPs. Both are titled "Fine, Thanks For Asking!" and both are worth your precious time. Here goes...

Half-Pair of Trios - Fine, Thanks For Asking!

Day 1: Half-Pair of Trios is John, Sean, and me. Fine, Thanks For Asking! consists of two roughly quarter-hour tracks. The first is a psuedo-industrial dance jam made with cheezy keyboards, and the second is a gorgeous wash of ambient organs and impassioned yelping.

Hosts - Fine, Thanks For Asking!

Day 2: Hosts is John and me. The second Fine, Thanks For Asking! might be viewed as a deconstructionist version of the previous one. Instead of jams, the improvized sounds here are stretched out into more abstract drones and squeals.
