about

Our treaty is broken and the schizophrenic rants of my accompanied friends in group therapy have inspired this ragged batch because they, simply put, lacked the refinement to listen to twenty songs.

In the end, "The Monolith" loomed too largely for them. They were my targeted audience: depression, anxiety, bipolar I, bipolar II, mild schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder. The list continues.

Again, thank you for downloading or streaming this e.p. Please help us by booking us to perform at illegalwiretaps "at" gmail "dot" com. If you are a savvy booking agent who would like to help us, we would comply with your demands with one exception: we do not guarantee a profit. We guarantee good shows performed by good musicians.

Six songs from the album "The Monolith"; also, the follow-up to "Of Atheists and Lovers".

"Of Atheists and Lovers" is our curtain call that lacked a patient audience. "Jesus, What Have You Done" was a Cartesian experiment that demonstrated some benefit. "The Monolith" reflects my aforementioned audience.

In between are 47 other releases. Give or take two or three.

We've written, recorded, and released too many songs for any one group of human beings to consume. We've given away our work because of our distinct belief that art and commerce creates compromise. We've made money and will not refuse it, but we see the money as a donation, not a transaction.

Forrest Bess' work reflects our unflinching need to keep working. Our work is only as important as we make it out to be. Your role as a listener is simple: you can do whatever you like. Listen while cutting carrots into cute little shapes or thinking of wanting to find the artist who made the music and beat him to the point where he decides to never make music again.

I come from a generation that was slow to embrace technology. Upon reflection, we're simply jealous of the expanse of technology the most recent generation were born into. We call it entitlement. We call it privilege. You call it whining. Whining to those whom we consider whiners.
