shit, youve taken fi to a new low. this kicks ass!

Ugh.. As exciting as my first encounter with my first computer. Modern times. Or f... modern times.

Thanks for the update from your travels. It's good! Heard it on my Local 58 not surprisingly.

love the little bluesy feel now and then- another great showcase of you two super tasty hypnococks!

Another fun collaboration with @dough-factory !

We came up with the quirky beat and then went searching for some samples that would fit. I immediately thought of the Big Lebowski. But we'd also been talking about the Netflix show Midnight Gospel so we pulled in some clips from that as well.

I'm hoping this is all fair use (this track and this account are not monetized in any way!)

to say

ember of joy (DM x-mass)

Ahh, the dissolute pursuits of the leisured classes. So shallow! So lacking in substance! 

And pursuits scarcely get more trivial than those perpetrated by Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley and Lord Clarence Gatling von Hassle Royce, 9th Earl of Wadstein, or "Royce" as he may be casually hailed assuming you survive your first attempt at such familiarity. 

Hypnopompetus is but one of several nauseatingly diverse projects in which this brace of regal rogues, never content with studio facilities or genre restrictions, have embroiled themselves.

The skill these two flamboyants command at stylistic metamorphosis may be inextricably (and unfortunately) linked to their contentious working relationship, which is why they've become known as "The Prickly Pair". 

Yet there's no denying that the results always leave an inimitable residue -- no matter which of them is left holding the editorial high ground when the blood dries.
