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.

Lovely Amphibian EP

The Lovely Amphibian EP is similar in style to Hot Pink Happiness. The song "Let Me Glow" was originally intended to be on the forth-coming full-length, but it would have seemed out of place due to its relatively simple arrangement, so I decided to release it on this EP. The second part of "Dog Whistle" shows me testing out a new noise-making set-up I've been experimenting with. It's not perfected, but it should get alot more interesting once I add a few more pedals. Overall, Lovely Amphibian is basically a teaser for my next major undertaking, so look for that sometime before the end of summer.

Noise For Summer Nights EP

The noise on this EP was created using a much different approach than my previous noise works. All sounds here are generated via my computer. To me, these pieces feel somewhat nostalgic.

Senorita You Broke My Heart

I was happy to assist Aaron in the creation of Senorita You Broke My Heart, but I really had nothing to do with its conception. Basically, Aaron (in Seattle) would let me know what he wanted from me (in Detroit) and I would upload for him. The result is a bulky transmission of wild west deconstructionism for the 21st century.

Draw! (uploading difficulties occurred. i'll try again later.)
