Gnawing on the Bone now available!
The upcoming releases section of this website has felt a bit like a closet in need of cleaning out. That load has lightened as of yesterday with the digital release on Bandcamp of Gnawing on the Bone. This is an instrumental project that was written in Watertown MA in 2011 in one sitting as a…

Affiche > Quiche
Really looking forward to being part of this festival in southern France hosted by Arbouse Recordings, who will be releasing our new CD in September. I especially like the dramatic tension evoked by the proximity of the wood-cut phallus to a node of barbed wire. The title, Au-delà du spectacle, has to do with the…
