about

This are all recordings of songs that are released elsewhere, but the demos differ enough to warrant a listen....once....maybe.

These are all unreleased recordings that combined with the unreleased songs tracks 2-6 made up what we had planned would be our second full length, entitled Fully Conscious Self Destruction. We recorded the album and agreed to do a record for Creep Records before we released it.

The only track not from Fully Conscious is the Nine demo which was just a basement practice recording.
Most of them made the cut for Apostasy and were re-recorded and these versions have been gathering dust for nearly 20 years.

These versions are more raw and sound closer to the band playing live, and have a charming quality to them.

“Your Body Washed Ashore” has an end part that we cut on the Apostasy album. “Eye Where Cosmetics” especially benefits from a rawer (more
Feedback) sound.

released May 25, 2019

All songs recorded by Jim Bond except "the Nine".

“The Nine” was recorded by the band at practice as a demo to show Aaron the new song as he couldn’t make it. For some reason, I (Justin) decided to overdub an extra guitar.

Rae Pagliarulo sings on “Where You Sleep”

Group Vocals on "Cotswald" by some combination of Jim, Bill, Dan, Justin, Aaron, Mike, Alex, Rae, Jess, Jess, Betsy, Shawn, Kerri, Sandro, Nick, Jason, Brian, Jamie, Tom, Andy, and probably a handful of other people.
