At some point I decided to stop with minimalistic garage noise punk. I had to be honest with myself, I get much to bored with things too quickly to make that the staple of my artistic career (pending). Not to disparage the style, it works for some people but I have found that it doesn't work for me. I have more in common with Yes than the Germs lets just put it that way.
What does that mean though for someone in L.A. I wonder.
Progressive music is annoying too in its exaggerated, bloated state, I find no pleasure in listening to 20 minute long epics with as many parts as there are seconds. So I'm trying to find a balance.
We've spent the better part of the year secluded, not sharing the work, not performing, honing ourselves and figuring out what we really want to do and I think we've finally come to a conclusion. I am worried about how it will be perceived but it is a aspect of art one must face. It reminds me of the interview between Damian Abraham and Mark Mothersbaugh that I read, where Devo spent a year developing away from the eyes of any public, emerging a already developed band. I found it interesting that they speculated something like that would never happen again. Invariably we might have become another exception.
Anyway, its a great article, read it.
I've given into ambition, its hard, but we've been putting enough work to make it perceivably good.
