Overview

Seaside And Sedmikrásky --- 2012-04-21

Text on back cover reads: "Seaside is a 16+ min song featuring our friend Lori Goldston on the cello. After reading the book "In the Realm of the Hungry Ghost" by Dr. Gabor Mate, K was inspired and wrote a bassline that hopes to float around the voids of the hungry ghosts in Olympia. On Seaside Abby plays a heavy steady beat and Jon opens the gates to hell with his guitar. We were fortunate enough to have our friend Lori Goldston take the train down from Seattle to Portland to join us at Buzz or Howl studio, listened to the song once and nailed it all in one take. THEN she turned around and got back on the train to Seattle. WOW. Lori left a wake long enough to fill all voids. This feels like the most important project we have ever been a part of recording. The song Sedmikrásky is a tip of the hat to the Czechoslovak New Wave feminist film maker Véra Chytilová and her film Daisies. The main characters of Daisies decide the world is bad, so they might as well be bad too. We were riding a magical wave to Psychodelia (that is a real place) when we recorded this. It was fun! We were bad! Kanako plays upright piano and drums, Abby plays guitar and Jon stumbled into the room at one point and picked up a bass. That music will never happen again... I don't think we could pull it off if we tried. So we are glad that we managed to record it and that it will be released into the world."
