about

Our statement is crafted over the course of vast experience of American cities and highways, moonlit desert drives and east coast sunrises, filled bellies and tanks on empty, day jobs and night shifts, the sharp points of short shrift, from the top of the heap and the depths of the dregs to the peaks and valleys of our youth and the intervening years, the poetry of our heroes, the dreams of our Mothers, the tyranny at our leaders’ hands, the mania of a life in bands, the Word of Seers, the lyrics which are clues and the notes become code for all the ways we love Ourselves and One Another, the ways we view our lovers, the mystery of love itself and the very nature of the Other which we identify, recognize as what comprises you and I, entrust to it the very instrument determining our forward course, and as we understand that magic is made of little more than metaphor, Pretend Collective through-composes and spontaneously transforms.

lyrics

higher than a flying cloud castle made of white light
singing to a paper doll a skyscraper caper solver
fire in the iron fryer smoke is rising appetizing
vapors from the neighbor's kitchen
frigerator faith elixir

“Cornered formulas morphing crackling day-tripping narratives into thoughtful yacht-rock holidays ...electric rodeos and paisley parades in work-week secrets and slow-burning concerns. Rallying ballads dipped in hazy persuasions...sprinkles slightly sinister melancholy into time-warped stories supported by cavorting metaphors and sneaky clichés.” –John Noyd/MAXIMUM INK ... more
