Started in 1994 in Portland. Contributed material to the Precipitation Compilation CD (1995- Partial Records), the Amphibious Maximus Compilation (1995- Red Phraug Records), and the Storm of Drones 3 CD compilation (1996-Asphodel Records). Spent the next seven years parenting & making home tapes.
The first Mortal Engines Release is a collaboration with the Noisettes (Static Blue, 2004- available through CD BABY). There is a SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT for those willing to purchase the entire CD as mp3s. CD BABY will also send you photo files of the artwork and song list so you can make your own CD at home. Neat!
Pressure Vessel is the second Release: It took a while to put together but, the results are definitely satisfying. The almost 15 minute "Flying Lotus" is the standout on the Disc.
Sugar Skull (a kind of "double EP" that features live tracks and a 26 minute single mix in four parts), is now complete and available! This was made sort of before and during the production of Pressure Vessel. It almost justifies the 3 1/2 year wait between the previous disc releases. Even though the concept sounds disjointed, there is a real cohesiveness between the two "EP's". The live tracks were recorded in April of 2007 at KPSU studios for a live broadcast. Much gratitude and thanks to Ricardo Wang and Austin Rich for making it happen.
