After a summer full of guerilla recording in a humid trailer on dusty back country roads with a fifth of black velvet, we're excited to offer up our newest collection of songs--"The Balkanization of Epistemology". It's full of found sounds, illegal samples and cut up words about life. The wordy title is a tip of the hat to our boy Terrence McKenna:This balkanization of epistemology: it's sort of like, if you believed in economic theory, thinking that it would be a good idea if everybody printed their own money. And then to the degree that you had vigor for the use of your printing press, you could run off more and more copies of whatever meme you had invested in, and I suppose these things would compete. In your imagination they would compete--but anybody who's studied economics for ten minutes can tell you there's something called Gresham's Law, which is that "bad money drives out good money." And I think it's even more true with ideology. Squirrelly ideas drive out ideas of depth and substance. There's a kind of danger of being gently--without quite noticing what's going on--ushered into a world of increasingly more cartoonlike ontological and epistemological fantasies about what's going on, or what's partially going on.The songs are available in either MP3 or FLAC format.
