Cuneiform

A crazy, convoluted thrill ride. Like an updated take on Faust’s Tapes, or more contemporarily, the work of the Vas Deferens Organization. It really is difficult to find a musical precedence or guidance framework to base this on, and I think that’s the point. Studio tricks and electro tomfoolery collide head-on with some actual performed music that sounds like it was written at a backwoods pig roast. I bet in their heyday, the Butthole Surfers would have loved this. Just nuts.
