about

Acoustic guitars, noisy loops, a couple of broken toys turned into musical oddities.

What happened here? This was, like other things, recorded on June 14, 2002. It is the kind of thing. It's a little challenging to quickly come up with words about it, so assume it'll be featured heavily in our memoir. Shortly before Apertome's death in April of 2022, we spoke briefly about this album. He hadn't been part of the band in 2002, but he'd gotten very much into trains lately and we considered either having him add to this or creating a part 2 with him and his field recordings of trains. We didn't get a chance to do either of those things; this album is dedicated therefore to his memory.
