event horizon

CDR released by l'Esprit de l'Escalier

Dull scrape is valorized on the opening track “Pelvic Bowl of the Common Hippo,” recorded live on the air at KZSU, Stanford, where amplified cabbage strafes a listless murk that overflows with pulverized calcium. “Please Vote Lexi Carter Thump Queen” milks the subconscious panic and despair from rural beauty contests and replaces them with psyops yoga. “All String, No Pearls” is a new soundtrack for student performance art duo Maria Callous’s recently unearthed script, the writing of which was triggered 45 years ago by psylocybin and the paddle-ball barker in the 1953 horror film House of Wax, while “Original Soundtrack Recording to PJ Cramer’s Meet Me At Agnew’s Grave,” despite a title that references a non-existent movie, is an anthem for all territories that cannot be colonized or annexed. Closing out the ordeal is a kind of secular exorcism, or what dry drunks call “a Burmese meltdown” — judgmental, shrill, loaded with blurry resentment. Wicked fine.

COMING IN FEBRUARY, CDR released by l'Esprit de l'Escalier

Nauseating shards epoxied into three 20-minute sound collages — one mixed live on the air at KZSU in Stanford, plus two studio monstrosities, scarred by sharp-edged distortion, crushed by abstract oppressionism, riddled with harsh sentencing. Also includes "Senior Prom #1 - Oberlin," the first in a series of paper towel dispenser Fluxus actions for Leo Dilloway

LP reissue of live recording from 1994, coming in  2026 on Minimum Table Stacks
