A new release, featuring a remix of my tune "Laughing" by Japan's Melt Banana, two new pieces of music from me (At varying energy points...and Energy Crisis features the phenomenal drumming of Tortoise's (etc's) John Herndon), and a revisitation of the single Laughing from my last LP for neat little context. This digital only release also serves to preview a larger remix project that I'm quite excited to share the details of soon, featuring some of my favorite musicians/artists.Boredoms/OOIOO,Tortoise, Battles, Gel Set, Dream_Mega, Shit And Shine, Beau Wanzer, Roadhouse, Robert Beatty, and more...Info soon...

When I received Melt Banana's remix via email a few months ago, my sides nearly split with laughter. It is a perfect synergistic marriage of my song and their frenetic, ecstatic approach to making their own music. Having been friends for over twenty years, and holding them in great admiration as musicians and people, it was truly an honor and a trip to hear this all entwined musically. I hope you enjoy it.I am beyond happy to have them involved. We hope you enjoy it.
