Live @ Dr. Sketchy's part 5

We make an entirely impromptu, glimmering flurry of sounds. There is twinkling and melting and crackling and skittering and scraping.

There are thunderous synth drones and whale-like bellows, lonely flute chiffs, and skeletal found-sound beats. There are ugly soundscapes, armies of marching stylophones and dying children's toys fighting for battery power. 

All of these songs were improvised and recorded live. Sometimes the result is bizzare and otherworldly. Sometimes nothing but disastrous dreck spills from us. Other times the sounds are nothing short of overwhelming and gorgeous. 

Come see us play live and watch us construct little, impressionistic, ballads from scratch, and then tear them apart when we get bored.
