Psychic Hygiene
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $8.00
Mangled pop loops squirm in and out of the stereo field like a million thoughts drifting through your mind in the midst of a hot shower. Vocal chants greet you with the ethereal charm of a fine seaweed face mask. Synth textures possess a smooth quality that is not far off from a freshly shaven face. For a moment, pure bliss; the work day is over, the outside world no longer exists behind this closed door... Until you cut yourself shaving; blood drips from your face. The drums begin picking up. Horns that serenaded you earlier now blare at volumes far beyond “discomfort zone.” What Panic Boner presents here is no different from the age of self-care that envelops us all today. Equal parts ugly and transcendental, this is a record for the listener who understands the high risk / high reward nature of improvisational music. Edition of 60
