about

the third of three albums written and recorded this year "said the ostrich to the wolf..." is the angriest of the three. it is a direct assault on the listener, both musically and lyrically. What it lacks in subtlety, layers and melody it makes up for in angst, disappointment and belligerence.

the title track alone tells the story of two doctors fighting over how to sedate a patient. "placate us", "the pog pounding terminal", and "disappointment" are songs that lash out at the stupidity of it all. on the other hand, songs like "just nothing left to do" and "grind" document the opposite. They explore the despair of helplessness and loneliness.

all in all, the final album in the trilogy (sorry no berlin here, no hansa studios and no brian eno here) is a different exploration of the creative process; but, from a darker angle.

to be played at maximum volume...

enjoy with headphones, good speakers and please do not listen to it with just your smartphone speakers! ugh....

please enjoy the RAWK responsibly...

All this locked into sweet melodic hooks rooted in non traditional song structures. ... more
