This project was intended as an opportunity for Adam Marx and an old friend Dan Wieken to write, record, mix, and essentially burn cds, then silkscreen jackets for an Ep length body of work within a very short window of time. Of note.. The whole thing was done within a week before Adam left for a several month tour with Vaz who he was playing with in the early 2000's.
I love working like this. The parameters that essentially dictate that there can be nothing too precious is a great way of approaching writing. It yields far less thought clutter and distrust in whatever your writing process/methods actually might look or feel like. Most often with this kind of "structure" the material is debatably worth using.. However, when everyone's on point and a little magic's in the room... gotdam..
This Ep is somewhere in the middle of all that in total honesty but, I wouldn't bother putting it up if it was all just farts in a bathtub.. Actually, yes I would.
