ThornBrain At once noisy and musical, weird and varied, ugly and pretty, relaxed and chaotic. Recommended for fans of early Faust. Favorite track: do or die tuatara.

the smell 04:10
soil from the farm smoke that's soaked into our clothes elder's alcohol a reminder for the rose underneath the spell of a different smell go on take a sniff underneath the spell of a different smell underneath the spell of a different smell go on catch the whiff underneath the spell of a different smell go on take a sniff taste this wide array feed into your ancient call scent caught in the skin tempting spaces for your crawl

the touch 05:18
i'll never let you feel it what you stole away i'll never let you touch it what you hide away come on now you can feel it there the faults and the fears, they fall from your care and in the end, we'll choose not to know at all what might have been if we could let go i'll never let you feel it what you hide away i'll never let you touch it what you hide away come on now you can feel it there the faults and the fears, they fall from your care and in the end, we'll choose not to know at all... the touch

about

this album was written and recorded all within the month of february of 2018. utility and a sense of urgency helped propel not only the creative process but also signing off on ideas rather than constantly re-tweaking for months (or sometimes years). if anything sounds rushed, incomplete, or half-assed please bear this in mind.

for instrumentation, i mostly limited myself to writing with a 3-string cigar box guitar and a mountain dulcimer, each played with a glass slide. synthesized bass and percussion parts were sequenced around after the fact. microtonality and minimalism influenced a good chunk of the writing for this record. some records that influenced my writing were:

can - "ege bamyasi"
king gizzard and the lizard wizard- "flying microtonal banana"
japan - "tin drum"
tolgahan çoğulu - "microtonal guitar duo"

still not sure why i named it "woof". i'll get back to you on that one.
