about

this album is the result of thousands of rituals which occured almost daily in the little dickensesque hidey-hole that is the practice room off the side of the amity high school band room. a clan of elves supervised the event and made sure that the microphone used to capture audio did so with the best fidelity it possibly could. i would like to thank the little microphone for his brevity thru the harsh ice months, as well as bouba, kiki and other figments of past psychological experiments. this project was funded by the all-knowing russian dog-orb and the essence of connecticut in the industrial age.

"the first twenty seconds of triangle shirtwaist fire sound like two fourteen year olds who have terminal cancer falling in love" - smokey
